Test: the influence of electronic on LCD

Published by Newsfactory 0

Eizo said to Behardware.com during an interview that general public monitors colors quality didn't last. They aren't stable with time and calibrating them isn't sufficient. Electronic components aren't good enough to permanently display quality colors. This is something that needed to be investigated. Behardware.com has taken four monitors and measured their colors during 30 consecutive hours. Differences were noticed and it is possible to confirm it: some colors change with time. And they can sometime change a lot if the brightness is also taken into consideration.
