who uses dynamic contrast on monitors anyway? how bad is 1000:1 static?
I think every LCD monitor I've ever had, has had 800:1 static, never seen any LCD monitor with any other static contrast.
I have no idea how this stuff works, but I always go for monitors with a good dynamic contrast (thats 20k+) since, after my experience, the colors are WAY better than monitors with lower dynamic contrast.
I'm sitting with a BenQ G2410D (40K) and a Samsung Syncmaster 206bw (3K), and there is a very clear difference in color quality. Whether this in reality is actually the dynamic contrast I don't know, but it's the only difference I can find (apart from 1 monitor being 24" and the other 21").
my understanding is that dynamic contrast is set by taking the static contrast, then multiplying it by how much darker and brighter the backlight can dim/glow when you turn on dynamic lighting. so if you have 1000:1 and your backlight can be 100x brighter than its darkest setting, you have a dynamic contrast of 100,000:1 this does not mean that one pixed on the screen can be 100,000x brighter than another in the same frame, but within a few frames yes.
i actually hate having dynamic set on since its unrealistic i think. the movie will get darker all the sudden, and i cant see crap because black compressions are too pathetic in anything but a blueray.
does anyone enjoy watching tv with dynamic settings on?
