16 ms on LCD but what about CRT ??

[Toxview]

The speed on LCD panel is 16ms but does anyone know what is the speed on normal CRT monitor ?

 

[recruit370]

what does ms stand for?

A CRT is much faster.

That number is the time required to switch the polarity of the liquid crystals.

CRTs don't have a coresponding number.

The pixels on a CRT light up and unlight in nanoseconds, which are much shorter than milliseconds.

Thx Crashman, My answer was a little too simplified! You gave a good answer.

CRT pixels light up fast but they take much longer to "un-light" due to phosphor persistence.

P22R (red) phosphor decays at a rate of 0.7 millisecond per 10% decay (I looked it up). P22G (yellow-green) and P22B (blue) decay much faster at about 0.06 millisecond per 10% decay.

According to my crude calculations, at those rates it takes a red pixel about 5 milliseconds to go from full bright to half intensity. 10 milliseconds to reach 1/4 intensity. Call it 15 milliseconds to go from full bright to black. That's 15,000,000 nanoseconds.

Funny thing about those pixels though...by the time they begin to dimm, they can change color because they are lit by another beam.
