When people buy a monitor, basically just look at the brand, size, discrimination rate, the game may be more concerned about some 144Hz, 1ms and so on, but the doorway to the monitor is actually a lot, want to buy the desired monitor, but not just look at the size and discrimination rate so simple, so what should I pay attention to when buying a monitor? Follow me below to take a look at it.
Color depth (bit), we can often see some color-oriented professional field of display marked with 8bit/10bit panel, that bit is what means, how do we understand? In fact, the bit represents the basic unit of computer binary, and binary information is composed of 0 and 1, applied to the display is also the same.
Suppose we build a monitor with a 1bit panel. 1bit panel means the pixels of the monitor can only recognize 1 bit of information, then this pixel can display "1" or "0" information, each pixel of this panel can only display 2^1=2 color gradations, and each pixel is composed of 3 RGB colors, so this pixel can eventually display (2^1)^3=8 colors . And when we upgrade the technology to make the monitor a 2bit panel, it means that the pixel point of the monitor can only recognize 2 bits of information, then the information that this pixel point can display is "00", "01", "10" and "11" four, then this pixel point can display (2^2)^3=64 colors.
And so on, if the monitor is 8bit panel will be able to display 2^8=256 color gradations, so 8bit will eventually be able to display 256×256×256=16777216 colors. 10bit will be able to reach 1.07 billion colors.
We are the
lcd manufacturers for small size displays such as 1.8inch 128x160, 2.0inch 176x220, 2.0inch 240x320 IPS, 2.8inch 240x320, 3.5inch 320x240 and 3.5inch 320x480 IPS ect.
Gamma, often look at the monitor review partners may from time to time see the gamma test chart, so what exactly do we say the gamma value represents? Why do we choose to take the gamma value (γ) = 2.2 as the standard? Gamma affects the hue of the middle value of the chart or the grayness of the middle level. By adjusting the gamma value, you can change the brightness value of the mid-tonal grayscale of the image to increase the middle level of the image with little effect on the dark and light areas. This actually has a deep relationship to color depth, which we'll talk about next.
Let's put it this way, gamma is the relationship between color and brightness, the right gamma value can have better picture details, better restoration of the real picture, reflected in the general feeling is whether the picture is overexposed, whether the brightness is too high, or too low when the picture color is not distinguishable, no dark details.
Now you know what you should pay attention to when buying a monitor! As long as there are no problems with the hard data of the monitor, this monitor will not be much of a problem. Nowadays, the monitor is actually a very transparent choice, as long as we can choose rationally according to our needs, then we can buy a monitor that we are satisfied with. I hope this article can help you to better understand the monitor, thus helping you to choose your monitor more rationally.
