    LED refers to the new backlight tech used in LCD panels.
    OLED screen are something else entirely: the pixels not only show colour but emit light as well. That means that darker images are actually using less energy.

    Most plasmas can update at 400hz to 600hz with lightning response times (HDMI input to image displayed output) with which is much quicker then a LCD can handle and perfect for things like watching sport or gaming without juddering or lag.

    It's actually possible to have colour TV with a single electron gun; it just needs to be able to adjust its intensity fast enough (i.e., in the time it takes it to go from each sub-pixel to the next).

      But I also understand that plasma sets would scam 4 times per frame. I have seen the photos of this. I actually had a plasma set for a short time. I could almost see the 4scan operations to a point. When that thing fell over and split the screen, I powered it in immediately to watch the very center still try to produce at least part of a picture. If you wanted to see a grown man cry like a baby.😢 Mad respect to plasma because it was a crucial step in the development of flat panels and history of them.

    CRT's use Red Green and Blue phosphors to produce color. Scaling up the size of a CRT width wise did not proportionally effect the depth. Larger units weren't all that deeper than their smaller counterparts especially in the late days of the technology. Also RGB triads on a Slot/Shadow Mask display are not pixels as they're not individually addressed and not digital, they are analogue. Either way entertaining video.

    • @elektroqtus

      But after 25 inches diagonal, it seems like every inch diagonal increase was a doubling of weight. Or damn close. 25" can be hefted up by one person. 30" requirements are 4 people to lift up. Wiider scanning angles made for shallower depth on CRT but as it got larger in the front, you're GOING to pick up more depth than a slightly smaller tube.

The burn in is something you forget about but happens all the time.. you wont notice , its only visible if you see a black screen or another one color screen.

    Plasmas have a wider colour gamut and deeper blacks than LCDs, and at larger sizes they become more cost effective. You won't find many 32" plasma TVs, but as you go up in size they become more common, and at 60" nearly all the top models are plasma.

    If you sit far enough from your TV to see the entire screen, you're unlikely to notice the difference between HDTV and 4K. Most live action "digital cinema" is mastered at 2K (4K is used mainly for effect shots that are going to undergo a lot of processing). You need a really good (read, really expensive) lens to get pixel-crisp 4K images.
    And remember that a Bayer sensor does not capture full RGB information for each pixel, but a TV screen does display full RGB information per pixel.

    Color and image settings is all preference. There are so many calibration settings that it's all preference. What really sets tv technologies apart,is which one has the best black color definition,zero input lag,smoothest refresh rate,and most vibrant colors. Those 3 image qualities is what makes or breaks a tv or pc monitor. It separates the Alphas from the Betas. The videophiles from the tv noobs. As for motion performance,plasma tv is best in video game use,smooth buttery frame rate,and absolutely no input lag. This is very important in fast paced games,such as call of duty,no motion blur with Plasma.

      here was my response, also I am a ex-tv repairman "tv's are Red Blue and Green , not yellow. RGY are the primary colors, And Green is a secondary color. But why would they use RGB on a display? Well there is a difference in projected and reflected light. Where as RGY is used in reflective-subtractive color wheel. Think paint on the wall, where you add all colors you get black. Now think of the TV as a colored light projector you add Red and Green light you get Yellow, this is an additive process. However there is a TV that has yellow pixels also. It is the sharp quattron. As the name would suggest it has 4 pixels Red Green Blue and Yellow."

      However with sharp, the yellow pixel is just advertising jargon to confuse consumers like curved screens. It does nothing, because yellow is not an encoded color. So to light up the yellow pixel, it is interpolated from the red/green mix. A much better solution was how Sony did it with their triluminous color filter, which starts with primary blue, and by wavelength dividing generates primary green and red wavelengths which generate much more accurate, and a wider color gamut for the LCD color filters. Of course in plasma and oled, these displays generate the light themselves.

    red blue and green pixels. red and green add together to create yellow. this applies to light emiting color sources. adding colors ultimately leads to white. color absorbing pigments work differently. for inks its red blue and yellow... adding colors in that case leads to black.

    Actually, they don't give you a new wavelength of light, they only stimulate the color cones in the eye to make the eye THINK that that wavelength is present. We have three cones - L-, M-, and S-, that respond to the peak colors of R-G-B respectively. Pigments subtract from full reflection values, meaning they start with white and build up to black, SUBTRACTING R-G-B, making the primary pigment colors Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.

    If I may answer.. combination of different colors of light gives you a whole new wave length of light, i.e another color of light. While combining different colors of pigments gives another color due to the reflection of the light on them to your eyes that gives the other color. so, the mechanism of color production if different.

    Being LED-backlit does not mean they can turn off individual pixels, it just means they use an array of LEDs instead of fluorescent lights. Some use as few as 20 LEDs.
    Look at a big plasma vs. a big LCD in a brightly lit room (or even outdoors) and you'll see the difference in blacks.
    Nothing about plasma makes it "behind the times". The reason why most manufacturers prefer to push LCDs is that their profit margin is bigger. Same reason why CRTs vanished so quickly (very expensive to ship).

    It's either RGB which is additive (screen itself/background is black and all pixel at full intensity produce white) as you say or CMY (cyan, yellow and magenta) which is substractive (the screen produces white light by default and the colors are taken away/covered to produce the desired color) in a tv that's done with light filters. It's probably easier to imagine a printer which does the same thing; it covers up the white paper with ink. (usually CMY + black)

    • @2kBofFun
      @2kBofFun 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      TVs don't work like print. Yes you start with white light, but then you turn it into 3 additive R G and B light sources with R,G,B filters. Then the three primaries additively mix together to show the entire spectrum.
      QD (O)LED does this a bit smarter, as instead of making white light first, a blue LED with a yellow phosphor to convert a part of the blue light is changed to a blue source where part is changed to red and green with a quantum dot film.

    Whoever researched the background of CRT technology for this video didn't dig very deep. Tubes did become progressively slimer as time went on, of course nowhere a flat panel but still, and high definition resolutions were possible (full 1080i achievable on consumer HD CRTs/QXGA on CRT monitors). If CRT continued and didn't almost immediately die, more improvements could have been made.

      They got slimmer and more shalow, but at the expense of extremely thick front glass. I've a B&O 32" true-flat widescreen CRT and it weighs 80kg. Net image size is 29 inch. That is NOT FUNNY. And it is still 55cm deep. Good thing is it turns towards the remote on a rotating feet, so you never see the huge back. A 80kg plasma would be like 90" or so and 10cm deep. CRT was on a dead end track. What DID happen is that Philips desigend a flat CRT tube in the nineties, in a flat glas panel with tiny electron tubes. But the project was killed by the board as it was too expensive. LCD was simply put too cheap to compete with.

    Light, unlike, paint or crayons, combines colors differently, which is why in an LCD or plasma display, which you would find in a computer or TV, each pixel uses red, blue, and GREEN, subpixels, not red, blue, and YELLOW. Yellow light is made by combining red and green light. You can easily see the individual colors of the subpixels by holding a magnifying glass up to the display, or more easily, by placing a small drop of water on the display.

    It depends. LCDs are more power efficent, have thinner bezels and are thinner but have washed out blacks and are expensive. Plasma TVs are nowadays much cheaper, have excellent contrast and are brighter while also offering ridiculous 800Hz refresh rate excellent for fast movieng objects. Also great for 3D. They are heavier and thicker though. Also use much more power. Many home theatre enthusiasts will tell you plasmas are best, and they really are but mainly for home cinema, not watching tv.

    There is in fact no absolute definition of "primary colours". It just means "the colours used as the basis of your palette". The only requirement (if you want to create a full spectrum) is that your primary colours be complementary to each other (i.e., every colour must be derivable from them, and the primaries should not be derivable from each other - otherwise your palette is unnecessarily big).
    Nearly all monitors use red, green and blue dots, but some types of film use different primaries.

    Torque is the spinning power on the driving axel I think , so fwd or awd or rwd. Or maybe, torque is the combination of spinning power and weight of the vehicle. That's why it's easier to do a burnout with a vehicle that has more torque, because more power to the driving wheels and less weight to hold the car down.

    You'll need a pretty expensive LED panel to match the picture quality of a mid-end plasma. But plasmas are heavy, glare is present, are potential to screen burn-ins and power hungry. If just care about the picture quality, look no further until OLEDs come out !

    A Laser TV requires lasers in three distinct wavelengths-red, green, and blue. While red laser diodes are commercially available, there are no commercially available green laser diodes which can provide the required power at room temperature with an adequate lifetime. Instead frequency doubling can be used to provide the green wavelen

    Well, for a large computer screen (ex., to replace 2 monitor), 4K can and does make sense, because it lets you sit close while still having good pixel density, and just have more space. On a PC you often focus on just 1/4 of the screen area, and you tend to lean back when watching fullscreen videos.
    With a TV, you're (nearly) always far enough to see the whole screen, and the image is limited by the stream / camera sensor / lens resolution anyway, so you gain very little from 2K / HD to 4K.

      @@nikoolix - Most people don't sit 2 metres away from a 48" screen. And the comment hasn't "aged" at all, because human eyes still have the same angular resolution, and both HD and 4K still mean the same (and a lot of "4K" content is still not _actually_ 4K, but hopefully that will continue to improve with time).
      If you compare two panels of the same type and generation, one 4K and one 2K (or HD), at a normal TV viewing distance, being fed the same signal, they'll be practically indistinguishable. As computer screens, the difference will be instantly obvious.

    Yellow is simulated by dithering patterns of Red and Green, specifically. The Blue is absent from otherwise "white" light in order to produce "yellow", in this case.

    Laser color television (in short, Laser TV), or Laser color video display utilizes two or more individually modulated optical (laser) rays of different colors to produce a combined spot that is scanned and projected across the image plane by a polygon-mirror system or less effectively by optoelectronic means to produce a color-television display. The special case of one ray reduces the system to a monochromatic display

    4K is not needed for tv's. Most people sit at quite a distance from their tv. And your eyes have a resolution too. You can see about 60 pixels per degree. So if your tv is, say, 15 degrees of your visual field it would take 900 pixels in that direction for you to see at maximum resolution.

    People are confused by English. He said specifically "Three separate streams of electrons to create red, blue and yellow which can then be combined to make sense of televised snooker". He merely explained three electron guns to make those colours not the pixels that cover your screen. Then going on as a joke to use colour itself to help explain snooker across the television medium. Old TV's use yellow anyway, then one sitting here has RBY pixels, seen it dozens of times retuning the damn thing.
