Contrast Ratio

Contrast ratio refers to the difference between the brightest white and the darkest black a display can produce. It indicates how well a screen can show details in both bright and dark scenes. A higher contrast ratio means more distinction between light and dark areas, resulting in more vibrant images with better depth and realism. For example, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 suggests that the brightest white is 1000 times brighter than the darkest black. This measurement helps you understand a display’s ability to produce rich, lifelike images with good visual depth.
