How does each individual pixel know which colour to represent

Question

I understand the basis of how a single pixel works, but can’t work out how you deliver a specific and exact signal to every single tiny RGB block out of the 2 073 600 existiting in a typical 1080p monitor.

I there individual wiring going out to each one, and if so how are the signals timed and sent out?

Answer 1

Each pixel is actually 3 sub-pixels of fixed color. The computer sends the brightness to each of these 6M sub-pixels at a rate of 60 times per second to drive your monitor.
