I’m just used to it working but I don’t understand at all how it works. Like how do the electric signals coming from the computer lead to each individual pixel showing the rexactly right color at the exactly right time?

The graphics card in your computer does the calculations to figure out what color to display on each pixel and then sends that information over a cable to your monitor which simply outputs what its told.
