The Good, the Bad and the Beautiful: 17" LCDs Reviewed

Spatial Uniformity

We measured the uniformity of lighting over the panel. This is a parameter that should be taken into account. The eye is fairly sensitive to spatial variations of light intensity. Certain monitors, for example, show a halo of light at the upper of lower part of the panel, which is a bit ugly when you use your monitor to watch a film. This halo is particularly visible in the blacks, and will show up even more in the black bands above and below your movie in 16/9 format. Fortunately you don't see it here.
