What's the difference between a 16:9 and a 16:10 monitor?

With the improvement of the panel cutting process, the LCD panel will start to shift from the current 16:10 specifications to 16:9, in 2010 Most of the notebook LCD and more than half of the desktop LCD will adopt 16:9 specifications. So what's the difference between 16:10 and 16:9? Does 16:9 mean that the screen size is smaller than the 16:10 LCD display?

Now most of the chip sources are in the 16:9 format output, in the past, the use of 16:10 of the LCD to play such a source, or the film fills the entire screen resulting in distortion and can not achieve point-to-point phenomenon, or to maintain the original ratio of the film, although it can do point to point, But the screen will leave a black edge, not only affect the feeling of watching the film, but also caused the display screen area utilization rate of decline. Therefore, if you use a 24-inch 16:9 LCD display to play the full HD 1080P video, you can achieve better visual effects and a higher screen area utilization than the 16:10 24-inch LCD.

In addition to the existence of advantages in the display performance, the industry to promote the 16:9 specification panel, but also the cost factors. To adopt the Five Dynasties production line of the base plate cutting process for example, a substrate can be cut out of 15 pieces of 15.4-inch 16:10 panel, and cutting 15.6-inch 16:9-panel, you can cut out 18, and the display area difference is not small. Believe that the 16:9 panel after the popularization of its cost advantage will be the price of liquid crystal display further pull down.

This shows that because of the limitations of traditional concepts, 16:9 LCD display in the initial stage will encounter the original Pu vs widescreen debate. However, with the advent of the HD era, 16:9 LCD display in the film's advantage will certainly be favored by audio-visual enthusiasts, and the 16:9 LCD panel higher cutting efficiency of the cost advantages will also allow the final product price further reduced, so that users get real benefits. In this transitional period, to choose 16:9 or 16:10, users need to carefully consider their daily application range and the characteristics of liquid crystal display can achieve good cooperation.
