Not written by me, I take no credit, but I found it very useful in explaining the difference between the 2 and how they work.

Thanks for posting it.
FYI also, if anyones looking for more great technical info on monitors and really anything arcade related,
Check out Randy Fromm's big blue book.
It's awesome.
You can subscribe to his online technical department and download this book as well as his big green book of monitor schematics and lots of great videos from his arcade school.
Worth every penny
