LCD screens in a nutshell (page 3: Chronological history of the past two years)

Chronological history of the past two years

As the last LCD comparative test on Hardware.fr is two years old, a summary of the last episodes is necessary.

During 2001, 15” LCD screens tested had response time between 25 to 60 ms. Surprisingly, the screen who won everyone’s approval was a 40 ms, the Belinea 10 15 35. With unpretentious performances on the paper, this screen was excellent during tests (at the time). It was by far the most reactive screen, and the one with the least afterglow. Performances were still far from CRT displays, but this screen was the best.
We already noticed that the response time communicated by the manufacturer wasn’t accurately representative of the exact pixel reactivity.
Since that time, we have worked on this question and we will explain further in this article why.

Already in 2001, the tested screens used the three panel technologies: TN, IPS, VA.
