This method is similar to FALD, but instead of a grid of LEDs behind the screen, there are fewer, larger LEDs directly behind the screen. These larger LEDs can be turned on or off individually to create localized dimming zones. Direct-lit local dimming is more effective than edge-lit local...
A display with a full-array local dimming solution consists of numerous zones of LEDs that are placed across the entire back of the screen. These zones will dim the part of the screen that needs to be darker without greatly affecting the areas of the screen that need to be bright. FALD ...
New LED technologies such as local dimming zoned, QLED, Mini LED, and Micro LED bring LCDs closer to OLED displays without the drawbacks of OLED screens. An LED screen with many local dimming zones or Mini LED technology will likely produce much better HDR imagery than an edge-lit LED with...
Local dimming vs. 'local dimming' There are two types of local dimming, too. The first is "full-array" or "direct," which means the LEDs are arranged behind the screen, and the best can dim relatively small sections. How small depends on the total number of "zones" (the more the be...
and over 2,000 local dimming zones, it's one of the best screens you'll ever play games on. Brightness is out of this world, making for some exceptional HDR experience that really brings games to life. On top of all that, the Strix Scar 18 has surprisingly good battery life when you...
TVs that use Mini-LEDs and lots of local dimming zones, or OLED TVs and monitors which are able to turn off individual pixels, will also avoid the blooming effect that can occur on some displays with particularly stark contrasting areas of a scene. ...
considered a minimum for true HDR output. Most entry-level HDR monitors have a brightness level of 400 cd/m². They are a step up from SDR monitors, which typically have a brightness rating of 250 to 350 cd/m², but lack “local dimming zones,” a key feature of quality HDR ...
There are two types of displays dominating the market at the moment, LED-lit LCDs and self-emissive OLED displays. Since OLED sets don't have a backlight, local dimming only applies to LED-lit LCD sets. Full-array local dimming means that zones can be adjusted independently across the disp...
Nowadays, you can see G-SYNC Ultimate monitors with a lower 600-nit peak brightness and inferior multi-zone backlights – down to 32 edge-lit local dimming zones, for instance, from something like the 512-zone FALD solution of the Acer X35. ...
According to the iPad Pro tech specs, the mini-LED-powered Liquid Retina XDR display in the new 12.9-inch model comes with a “2D backlighting system with 2596 full‑array local dimming zones.” It delivers 2732-by-2048-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch. While the 12.9-inch model...
