The 500:1 is the contrast ratio, the difference between the darkest and lightest that can be displayed. On 7/15/07, Ralph Shumaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I was just looking at monitors (among other things) and discovered that I am unaware of some of the specs for LCD monitors. One said "17 inch KDS LCD 1280x1024 260 Nits Plug and Play Black". What is a nit? Another said "17 inch Viewsonic VA1703WB Widescreen BLK 8ms 500:1". I'm assuming that 8ms is some sort of response time? Another said 2ms. What is 500:1? Another said 700:1 5ms 1440x900 widescreen. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
