  2. Refresh rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate

    Many high-end LCD televisions now have a 120 or 240 Hz (current and former NTSC countries) or 100 or 200 Hz (PAL/SECAM countries) refresh rate. The rate of 120 was chosen as the least common multiple of 24 fps (cinema) and 30 fps (NTSC TV), and allows for less distortion when movies are viewed due to the elimination of telecine (3:2 pulldown ...

  3. 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.

  4. High frame rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_frame_rate

    In early cinema history, there was no standard frame rate established. Thomas Edison's early films were shot at 40 fps, while the Lumière Brothers used 16 fps. This had to do with a combination of the use of a hand crank rather than a motor, which created variable frame rates because of the inconsistency of the cranking of the film through the camera.

    However, when the modulated light is non-uniform and contains an image, the flicker fusion threshold can be much higher, in the hundreds of hertz. [3] With regard to image recognition, people have been found to recognize a specific image in an unbroken series of different images, each of which lasts as little as 13 milliseconds. [4]

  6. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

    The first commercial displays capable of this resolution include an 82-inch LCD TV revealed by Samsung in early 2008, [45] the Sony SRM-L560, a 56-inch LCD reference monitor announced in October 2009, [46] an 84-inch display demonstrated by LG in mid-2010, [47] and a 27.84-inch 158 PPI 4K IPS monitor for medical purposes launched by Innolux in ...

  7. LED-backlit LCD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED-backlit_LCD

    To generate white light best suited as an LCD backlight, parts of the light of a blue-emitting LED are transformed by quantum dots into small-bandwidth green and red light such that the combined white light allows a nearly ideal color gamut to be generated by the RGB color filters of the LCD panel. The quantum dots may be in a separate layer as ...

  8. Music Festivals Have A Glaring Woman Problem. Here’s Why.

    It’s 2011 and I’m on a plane to Miami. I’m ready to soak up some sun and kick back at my sister’s apartment in South Beach. As an afterthought, I’ve agreed to go to one of the largest electronic music festivals in the world, Ultra, for the first time.

  9. Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

    The flicker fusion threshold does not prevent indirect detection of a high frame rate, such as the phantom array effect or wagon-wheel effect, as human-visible side effects of a finite frame rate were still seen on an experimental 480 Hz display. [6]
