Analog/non-light displays

From: Skybuck Flying on 11 Apr 2010 19:48 Hello, There is one big problem with CRT's, LCD's and possibly even televisions... They all project lot's of light into our eyes, which screws with our wake/sleeping pattern. (Especially large white area's on the screens.) Maybe analog/non-light displays could solve such "health" issue's. Bye, Skybuck.

They do say that e-Ink displays are easier on the eye. To judge from the current market, we'll all get the chance to find out in the next few years or so.

You can and SHOULD turn down the intensity of the TV screen to fit the environment in which you are watching it. That is if a human being were to stand besides the TV screen with an image of a humam on the screen, both should display similar intensity levels and skin tones. 100% of TVs leaving the factory are set way to bright. But the fault is that of the user, wanting colors that are too saturated, too bright, and not at all realistick. All TVs that I have seen in the past 20 years come with a control unit tha allows the user to FIX the color should he not be so blind as he cannot correlate reality with TV. Mitch

TVs are typically shipped with default display settings that are way too bright, over sharpened and too contrasty with posterised colours. That is apparently what the slimy marketeers have determined sells most kit! I guess they have to be bright to look good in shop windows. You can adjust these settings to get a sensible real looking default picture. A few of the newer ones now dynamically vary the back light brightness to enhance to total luminance range displayable and/or respond to changing ambient light levels automatically. > > But the fault is that of the user, wanting colors that are too > saturated, too bright, and not at all realistick.

I can only agree with you. Some of the better LCD displays use IPS panels and they offer a noticeably wider colour gamut. The other advantage is that people can see the display with accurate colours from a wider range of viewing angles. I find this beneficial too. Regards, Martin Brown

Last year, when I was TV shopping, I saw something which at least brings a ray of hope to the situation. A particular LCD TV's setup screen had a whole bunch of brightness-and-contrast choices: and one of them read something like "Store Demo". It was, if I recall correctly, the brightest and most garish of the lot. I don't mind that a bright, competitive "store demo" setting be included... but it'd really be nice if it wasn't the default! -- Dave Platt <dplatt(a)radagast.org> AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
