What Is Dynamic Contrast Ratio?

Dynamic contrast ratio refers to the difference between the darkest black and the brightest white a display can produce over time, adjusting the backlight or image processing dynamically based on the content being displayed.

Key Points

• Dynamic Adjustment: The display changes brightness and contrast settings in real-time to enhance perceived contrast.
• Higher Ratios: Often result in more vivid images, especially in dark scenes, by making blacks appear deeper and whites brighter.
• Marketing Term: Values can be exaggerated compared to static contrast ratios, which measure contrast without dynamic adjustments.

Dynamic contrast helps improve viewing experiences in varying lighting conditions but may not always reflect true image quality improvements.
