There’s something new on the horizon in the world of image display: SED. SED stands for surface-conduction electron-emitter display. Why would we want that? Well, here’s why:
- 100.000 : 1 contrast ratio (who needs reality?)
- 1 millisecond s response time (gamers heaven)
- Brightness of 450 cd/m2
- 180 degree viewing angle (yes, that’s absolute)
Compare this to the best monitors of Apple and Dell,
the Apple 30″ Cinema display and the Dell Ultrasharp 3007WFP:
- 700:1 contrast ratio (this is especially an enormous difference)
- 14 millisecond response time
- Brightness of 400 cd/m2
- 178° degree viewing angle
Especially the contrast ratio is ridiculous with SED, and will feel extremely life-like. This technology will be launched by Toshiba and Canon at the end of this year, in conjunction with Nano Propietary.
Hm, should I go on a holiday to New-Zealand,
or save up for one of these?
Hi there! If you're into technology, art and all things in between and loosely related to them (and occasionally not at all), you might enjoy this blog.
