Monitors slowly evolving

Prev: Superzoom P&S's may have long "effective" focal lengths, but....
Next: What is the point of having 16 bit colour if a computer monitor can only display 8 bit colour? How do you edit 16 bit colour when you can only see 8 bit?

High contrast ratios stated are "dynamic" - and the first "feature" you'd want to turn off (if it was enabled by default) if using a monitor for photography.

How can increasing the DtoA resolution to ten bits improve the range? Sure a three colour system is always going to struggle to reproduce the full gamut the eye can see (Sharp have a four colour one, but how this helps with a three colour broadcast system and yellow being the centre of the gamut I don't know) : You probably believe the LCD hawkers who claim 1 million to 1 contrast ratios too. No I have two large Iiyama screens. The newer one claims 2048x1536, but can't really do it, but is rock solid at 1600x1200 at 85Hz, the older does 1600x1200 at 60Hz and is a little tired now. I sometimes run the desktop out over both screens. The first cost ~�1k in 1996/7 and the second ~�500 in 2004/5. Last year I bought an LG M227WD. It cost under �200 and is currently in use as a telly in the kitchen, however the image at 1920x1080 when tested as a monitor is better than the Iiyamas. It has been inescapable for some years now - CRT's have had their day.

With an OS that is crippled? With a gamut that is a dinosaur? |
