Display Comparison

Display Comparison:

LCD:

·       Very poor in direct sunlight without reflective design (battery powered devices);
uneven backlighting in older models;
low temperatures can cause dimming or blackout.

·       Display motion blur on models with slow response time, and the elimination technique (strobing backlight) can cause eye-strain.

·       60 or 75 fps typically;
internally, display usually refreshed at 200 Hz.

CRT:

·       Some compensate for ambient light.

·       No ghosting or smearing artifacts;
slightly blurry;
halo may appear around objects with high contrast to background.

·       Magnetic fields may cause distortion or shimmer,
earth's magnetic fields may cause distortion.

LED:

·       Poor in bright ambient light.
white color dimmer than LCDs of same brightness.

·       Vivid and wide gamut,
blue OLED degrades faster than other colors so manufacturers may overdrive the blue LEDs to compensate, causing oversaturated colors
organic materials decay over time.

·       UV exposure can damage,
water can damage organic materials.
