Display
Information about the main characteristics of the display - panel, backlight, resolution, refresh rate, etc.
Size class Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. | 27 in (inches) |
Diagonal Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. | 685.8 mm (millimeters) 68.58 cm (centimeters) 27 in (inches) 2.25 ft (feet) |

Height Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. | 335.664 mm (millimeters) 33.5664 cm (centimeters) 13.2151 in (inches) 1.1013 ft (feet) |
Panel type There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. | TN |
Panel bit depth The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. | 8 bits (6 bits + FRC) |
FRC Frame Rate Control (FRC) is a method, which allows the pixels to show more color tones. With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created. For example, by using FRC, a 6-bit display panel is able to show 16.7 millioin colors, which are typical for 8-bit display panels, and not the standard 262200 colors, instead. There are different FRC algorithms. | Yes |
Colors The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. | 16777216 colors 24 bits |
Aspect ratio The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. | 1.778:1 16:9 |
Resolution Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. | 2560 x 1440 pixels Quad HD (QHD) / 1440p |
Pixel pitch The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. | 0.233 mm (millimeters) 0.0233 cm (centimeters) 0.0092 in (inches) 0.0008 ft (feet) |
Pixel density Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. | 109 ppi (pixels per inch) 42 ppcm (pixels per centimeter) |
Display area The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. | 88.81 % (percent) |
Backlight The backlight is the source of light of the LCD display panels. The type of backlight determines the image quality and the color space of the display. There are various backlights such as CCFL, LED, WLED, RGB-LED, and etc. | W-LED |
NTSC (1953) The NTSC (1953) color space is introduced in 1953 by the FCC with the appearance of color television and has a wider gamut than the sRGB. | 72 % (percent) |
Brightness Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). | 350 cd/m² (candela per square meter) |
Static contrast The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. | 1000 : 1 |
Dynamic contrast The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video. | 100000000 : 1 |
Horizontal viewing angle Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. | 170 ° (degrees) |
