16:9 display for best widescreen gaming and video An aspect ratio is an
expression of a video image’s width compared to its height. The 16:9
widescreen aspect ratio is standard for universal to high-definition
television and European digital television. A native 16:9 aspect ratio
means outstanding game and video display without bars at top and bottom of
the picture and without the quality loss than comes from scaling, altering
an image to fit on a different screen size.
5ms fast response time On-Off response time is the period required for a
liquid crystal cell to go from active (black) to inactive (white) and back
to active (black) again. It is measured in milliseconds. Faster is better:
Lower response time means faster transitions and, therefore, results in
fewer visible image artifacts in the display of transition of texts and
graphics. On-Off response time is a more important measure in the display
of business content like documents, graphs and photos.
