Published

Author(s)

Edward F. Kelley

Abstract

How do contrast, brightness, viewing angle, and other parameters affect the quality of a display? Do the specifications always tell you what you want to know? Is specsmanship a problem? Why is a solid bedrock of display metrology important for the highly competitive display industry? We will attempt to answer these questions as well as provide tips on how to select a display. (You may want to leave before we discuss this last topic if you have already purchased a large-screen TV!)
