: Why are our phone screens so much more advanced than tvs and monitors?

Question

When looking at specs why is it that phone displays are better in terms of brightness and contrast ratio?

In: Technology

Answer 1

I wouldn’t say that they are more advanced. There is a lot of technology that goes into a TV screen. OLED, QLED, HDR10, Dolby Vision, Triluminos Display (Sony) – all different screen technology’s.

As mobile phone screens are quite a bit smaller, they do tend to have a higher pixel density, higher Pixels Per Inch usually tends to give a better quality.

It comes down to size really. More pixels to make up the screen that don’t have to be stretched as much as you would on a larger screen gives a better clarity.

Also, phone screens are designed to be interacted with. Majority of TV screens are not.
