  2. Viewing angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_angle

    With LCD screens, some manufacturers have opted to measure the contrast ratio and report the viewing angle as the angle where the contrast ratio exceeds 5:1 or 10:1, giving minimally acceptable viewing conditions. The viewing angle is measured from one direction to the opposite, giving a maximum of 180° for a flat, one-sided screen. A display ...

  3. Television standards conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Television_standards_conversion

    For viewing native PAL or SECAM material (such as European television series and some European movies) on NTSC equipment, a standards conversion has to take place. There are basically two ways to accomplish this: The framerate can be slowed from 25 to 23.976 frames per second (a slowdown of about 4%) to subsequently apply 3:2 pulldown.

  4. Optimum HDTV viewing distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance

    Range recommendations from manufacturers are the most modest of the groupings. For the minimum (or nearest) viewing distance, they recommend a view angle of approximately 31 degrees; and for the maximum, a view angle as low as 10 degrees. [35] [36] A 10-degree view angle is approximately the angle that NTSC television was typically viewed from ...

  5. Viewing cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_cone

    The viewing cone refers to the effective viewing directions of an LCD display, as seen from the eye. This collection of angles resembles a cone. The concept has been introduced as an international standard ISO 13406-2, which defines it as the range of viewing directions that can safely be used for the intended task without "reduced visual performance".

  6. 21:9 aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21:9_aspect_ratio

    The main benefit of this screen aspect ratio is a constant display height when displaying other content with a lesser aspect ratio. The 64:27 aspect ratio of "21:9" is an extension of the existing video aspect ratios 4:3 (SDTV) and 16:9 (HDTV), as it is the third power of 4:3, where 16:9 of traditional HDTV is 4:3 squared.

  7. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    Instead, the angular aperture of a lens (or an imaging mirror) is expressed by the f-number, written f /N, where N is the f-number given by the ratio of the focal length f to the diameter of the entrance pupil D: =. This ratio is related to the image-space numerical aperture when the lens is focused at infinity. [3]

  8. Curved screen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_screen

    A curved screen is an electronic display device that, contrasting with the flat-panel display, features a concave viewing surface.Curved screen TVs were introduced to the consumer market in 2013, primarily due to the efforts of Korean companies Samsung and LG, [1] [2] while curved screen projection displays, such as the Cinerama, have existed since the 1950s.

  9. Angular resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution

    Using a small-angle approximation, the angular resolution may be converted into a spatial resolution, Δℓ, by multiplication of the angle (in radians) with the distance to the object. For a microscope, that distance is close to the focal length f of the objective. For this case, the Rayleigh criterion reads:
