Looked at these specs. Questions:
It says all the iMacs are made with the same "TFT active-matrix liquid
crystal display". It doesn't say anything about different materials.
It also says the "typical viewing angle" for a 17" inch is 120 degrees, for
a 20" 170 degrees.
1) So .... Why is the angle less for a smaller screen, when they're made of
the same stuff?
I don't understand.
Also, the resolutions of the Cinema displays are expressed as things like
"1920 x 1200". But since the screens are different sizes, this doesn't
tell you anything about the real resolution unless you sit there with a
calculator and divide the numbers by the screen width.
(*feeling irritable*)
2) Is the resolution of LCD screens ever expressed in some way that is
independent of screen size, so that you can compare the res of two screens
of different sizes? If so, what is it?
thanks,
