Panel manufacturer
Name of the manufacturer of the display panel.
AU OptronicsPanel model
Information about the model of the panel used.
M270HAN03.0Panel 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.
AHVA IPSPanel 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 bitsFRC
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.
NoColors
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 bitsAspect 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
16:9Resolution
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.
1920 x 1080 pixels
Full HD / 1080pPixel 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.
0.311 mm
(millimeters)
0.0311 cm

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.
81 ppi
(pixels per inch)
32 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.
89.43 %
(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-LEDsRGB
sRGB is a color space, developed jointly by Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft in 1996. It is used in different devices such as printers, displays, TV sets, cameras, etc. The sRGB color space covers about 72% of the NTSC color space.
99 %
(percent)
DCI P3
DCI P3 is a color space, introduced in 2007 by the SMPTE. It is used in digital cinema and has a much wider gamut than the sRGB.
80 %

Rec. 2020
Rec. 2020 (ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020) defines several aspects of UHDTV as supported resolutions, frame rates, color space, color depth, etc. The Rec. 2020 color space covers 75.8% of CIE 1931. In comparison, the DCI-P3 covers 53.6% and the Rec. 709 covers 35.9% of CIE 1931.
57 %
(percent)
Brightness
Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²).
400 cd/m²
(candela per square meter)
Peak brightness
Often even a higher peak luminance can be achieved under certain conditions. For example, when a smaller area/APL of the display is used for showing a bright object, when a bright object is displayed for a short time, etc.
500 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 : 1HDR
HDR expands the contrast ratio (peak luminance and minimal black levels) and color palette to achieve more details across the whole image – from the darkest parts to the brightest ones, which results in more realistic and life-like image.
DisplayHDR 400Horizontal viewing angle
Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality.
178 °
(degrees)
Vertical viewing angle
Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality.
178 °
(degrees)
Minimum response time
Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G).
1 ms
(milliseconds)
0.0010 s
(seconds)
Input lag
Desktop monitors and smart TVs experience a latency/lag in visualizing the information. The time in milliseconds that the display needs to visualize the signal input.
2.3 ms
(milliseconds)
0.0023 s
(seconds)
Coating
Information about the type of coating of the display. There are different types of matte and glossy coatings, each of which has its own advantages and drawbacks.
