To be simple, the rate or speed of the scanning changes to match the
resolution. More lines are scanned, therefore there is more
information per line, and more information in total on the screen,
because there are more lines.
The detailed explanation of what happens is very long.
LCD and Plasma monitor displays are different in this approach.
