Video Memory: Video cards often have their own memory, called video memory, used for storing graphical representations. More memory allows more colors to be displayed at higher screen resolutions, thereby providing cleaner, brighter images that can take better advantage of large screen real estate and multimedia applications. The higher the screen and color resolutions, the more data is transferred from the video chipset to the video memory and the faster the data has to be read in order to be sent to the monitor. While processing speed is important for relaying these instructions, the more video memory available allows for more instructions to be held and communicated resulting in better images overall.
Viewing Angle: A measurement of the range of angles at which minimum acceptable viewing parameters (5:1 contrast ratio, good brightness and front-of-screen performance) is maintained. Measured in horizontal viewing angle (left/right) and vertical viewing angle (up/down).
