Liquid crystal display (LCD) - correct answerA customer is interested in purchasing a video projector and
asks about the different video display technologies. Which video display technology has strength that
include high color saturation and color accuracy?
The higher the gain, the lower the viewing angle. - correct answerWhile much time and attention can be
spent choosing a video projector technology, choosing the correct screen should play an equal role in
the home theater experience. Viewing angle and gain are key parameters when choosing a screen. How
does gain relate to viewing angle?
Color, brightness, wide viewing angle, durability, a thin light profile, and low energy consumption make
OLED technology an attractive alternative to other television technologies. - correct answerWhat
