C
Contrast
In an image on the screen, it represents the capability of seeing the details. It is the balance between clear and dark parts, which allow you to define better the borders and the aspect of the image you are displaying. The higher the contrast ratio (eg. 400:1 is higher than 350:1), the better you are able to distinguish between the black and white extremities. In other words, it is the ratio between the maximum and the minimum brightness of the display. back to top
P
Plug & Play
Detecting mode and automatic configuration for the peripherals connected to a PC. It must be supported by an operating system with similar features and the peripherals must match the Plug & Play standard. Note: Advueu monitors are all plug & play! back to top
T
TFT
Thin Film Transistor - technology used in the production process of the monitors with the active matrix. back to top
V
Viewing Angle
Although LCDs are known to offer a limited view in comparison to the CRTs, the differences are getting smaller and smaller with technology advancement. The viewing angle is the maximum inclination from which you can watch perfectly the images on the screen both in the horizontal and vertical position, without losing much color and contrast. The maximum viewing angle an LCD monitor can really have is 180 degrees. Hint: If you exceed 180 degrees, you are looking behind the monitor! back to top
