Response Time

Auto Date Saturday, May 31st, 2008

For a color on a pixel to get activated in an LCD monitor, a current runs through the crystals to change its state and produce color. The response time is the amount of time the crystals in the panel take for them to move to an on state from an off state. The rising response time is the amount of time it takes for the crystals to turn on, and the falling time is the time it takes for the crystals to move to an off state from an on state. The rising time tends to be very fast on LCD monitors, but the falling time is usually slower, causing a blurred effect on vivid, moving images on black backgrounds. The lower the reseponse time, the lower the blurred effect on the monitor. Today, response times also refer to the gray to gray rating that produces a lower speed than the traditional response time.
