As it seems that the world of TFT's is going to be changing again.
The article over at BitTech is quite in detail and a good read so I siggest you take a look at that if your interested here
Brightside are a company who it seems have been working on revolutionizing TFT technology for quite some time.
So what are they doing then?
Well it seems that Brightside have developed TFT's that are actually black.
I mean the blacks are totally black. According to Bit-Tech who have seen one in a darkened room you literally cannot see it displaying black when its on.
See what I mean:
On the left: a $2000 TFT 37" screen on and displaying a "black" screen. On the right: the Brightside 37" TFT. Its on and displaying a black screen. Honestly! There is the difference: what we see on our trifling TFT's is not really black, but a "grey" screen: the contrast ratio's (500:1) mean that whatever you do to it you basically not going to get a black screen as there is leak from the light at the back of the TFT
Now what makes the Brightside unit so special is that it uses selectable LED's and when it does not need them on the light up a part of the screen: it turns them off. This leaves you with an actual black screen.
So HDR on a HDR screen?? Just consider what DoD:S would look like! Simply stunning.
Showing white on the monitor is amazing. Due to the comparible contrast ratio of 200 000 in the brighside screen: the camera blooms just like your eyes would!:
Sid by side: a white square on a black background. On the left the $2000 TFT and on the right the LED Brightside unit. See how the white is so bright the camera can't take it? And notice the extreme contrast between the actual black f the brightside unit and the black of the nromal TFT? Simply put: amazing
A screenie of the image quality difference of the two:
Take a look at the Bit-Tech article for more: but this just shows how much clearer the display actually is!
In sum:
Brightside are hoping that the major retailors will take a look at this technology and realise just how good it is. At the moment these are low production screens made by brightside themselves ($49000 each), but they are hoping that major manufactorers will take this excellent technology up and bring it into homes very soon.
As I look at the various screens and video's of this I really can see the future of HDTV's changing and I hope we see some displays with this kind of image very soon.
This is just a brief preview for y'all: but here are a couple of video's that show just how black the blacks are and just how bright and vibrant the colours come out:
Location 1 for the Xbox demo trailor
and Location 2 for a LOTR video showing the display differences.
Amazing
