dynamic contrast

[wnstn]

Hello,

 

I am going to buy a new screen and some things are not really clear to me.

 

I saw this one Iiyama ProLite B2480HS-W1 and this one AOC G2460VQ6

 

The Iiyama has a contrast ratio of 5.000.000 : 1 (dynamic) and 1:000 : 1 (static) and the AOC has 80:000.000: 1 (dynamic) and also 1:000 (static).

 

Also the brightness on the Iiyama is 300cd/m² and the AOC has 250cd/m²  

The AOC has 1ms response time and the Iiyama the has 2 ms. both are 75 Hz.

 

What is the dynamic contrast ratio meaning?

 

Kind regards,

Dynamic contrast is a difference between a fully white pixel at 100% brightness and black at the lowest brightness. It really tells you nothing. Static is what you are aiming for because it shows you an actual difference.

Thanks. But still, what would be a better choice... the AOC or the other one..?

They're both practically the same.

If you want a brighter screen, and willing to compromise a negligible difference in response time, go for the AOC.

If you don't mind a slightly darker screen (In comparison) and want the negligible difference in response time, Ilyama is the way.
