  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. 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.

  4. Ultrawide formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrawide_formats

    The 64:27 aspect ratio is the logical extension of the existing video aspect ratios 4:3 and 16:9. It is the third power of 4:3, whereas 16:9 of widescreen HDTV is 4:3 squared. This allows electronic scalers and optical anamorphic lenses to use an easily implementable 4:3 (1.3 3 ) scaling factor.

  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. 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 ...

  7. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

    The computer display industry maintained the 16:10 aspect ratio longer than the entertainment industry, but in the 2005–2010 period, computers were increasingly marketed as dual-use products, with uses in the traditional computer applications, but also as means of viewing entertainment content. In this time frame, with the notable exception ...

  8. 21:9 aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21:9_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. This allows electronic scalers and optical anamorphic lenses to use an easily implementable 4:3 (1. 3 :1) scaling factor.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._2020

    ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020, more commonly known by the abbreviations Rec. 2020 or BT.2020, defines various aspects of ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV) with standard dynamic range (SDR) and wide color gamut (WCG), including picture resolutions, frame rates with progressive scan, bit depths, color primaries, RGB and luma-chroma color representations, chroma subsamplings, and an opto ...
