Viewing Angles

Auto Date Friday, May 30th, 2008

LCD monitors produce the image through a film with a current running through the pixels. This current activates the shades of color on the pixel. The problem with LCD films is that the colors are only accurately shown when the screen is viewed straight on. When the viewer is looking at it from a perpendicular angle, the colors tend to look washed out. The quality of LCD monitors is rated according to their vertical and horizontal viewing angles. The rating is done in degrees, using the arc of a semicircle with its center perpendicular to the LCD monitor. A 180-degree viewing angle means that the LCD monitor can be viewed from any angle in front of the screen. Higher viewing angles are generally preferred over lower angles.
