Testing screens

An important test carried out when reviewing a laptop, on-screen graphics are dependent on both the type and size of screen as well as the graphics card. It is reasonably safe to assume that a larger screen will offer resolution. The brightness of the screen(measured in nits) is another specification that can differ dependent on model and make. A brighter screen impacts less on the eyes and are easier to read in bright conditions. Some manufacturers have a glossy, reflective coating on the display which improves colors and contrast. But, as it increases the reflectivity of the screen,it can show you reflected in the screen. Surface scratches could also show up more readily. LCD displays do not all have the same range of viewing angle, with some screens not easily viewed from a side angle. More on a notebook test here.
