  2. Color calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_calibration

    Color calibration of a monitor using ColorHug2, an open source colorimeter, placed on the screen. For calibrating the monitor a colorimeter is attached flat to the display's surface, shielded from all ambient light. The calibration software sends a series of color signals to the display and compares the values that were actually sent against ...

  3. Computer monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_monitor

    Most modern monitors have two different indicator light colors wherein if video-input signal was detected, the indicator light is green and when the monitor is in power-saving mode, the screen is black and the indicator light is orange. Some monitors have different indicator light colors and some monitors have a blinking indicator light when in ...

  4. TFT LCD - Wikipedia

    This change reduces the amount of light scattering in the matrix, which gives IPS its characteristic wide viewing angles and good color reproduction. [ 17 ] Initial iterations of IPS technology were characterised by slow response time and a low contrast ratio but later revisions have made marked improvements to these shortcomings.

  5. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers to display information. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly [1] but instead use a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome. [2]

  6. Bias lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_lighting

    The purpose of bias lighting is to reduce the perceived brightness of the display as a result of the contrast with the slightly illuminated area around it. [1] This reduces the eye strain and fatigue that occurs when viewing a bright display against a very dark background for an extended time, [1] and increases the perceived blackness, perceived highlights, and overall contrast of the display.

  7. Contrast ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_ratio

    How much the room light reduces the contrast ratio depends on the luminance of the display, as well as the amount of light reflecting off the display. [ 7 ] A clean print at a typical movie theater may have a contrast ratio of 500:1, [ 8 ] a transmissive digital projector is around 200:1, and a reflective digital projector (i.e. DLP) is around ...

    Hamm took a drug test that weekend, knowing he would fail. A week later, he delivered himself to his probation officer and soon after he was booked into the Campbell County jail. But before that, he had called Greenwell, Grateful Life’s intake supervisor. Hamm had begged to be allowed back into the program. Greenwell had turned him down.

  9. Backlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlight

    LCDs do not produce light by themselves, so they need illumination (ambient light or a special light source) to produce a visible image. Backlights are often used in smartphones, computer monitors, and LCD televisions. They are used in small displays to increase readability in low light conditions such as in wristwatches. [1]
