Design Note for Dot-Pitch Limits

Dot-pitch requirements are not specified for PC 98 because dot pitch depends on resolution and size. Also, design features other than dot pitch contribute to usability for PC applications, such as focus and phosphor. However, the following table defines limits based on monitor size.
