Full Definition & Technical Explanation
Contrast ratio compares the brightest white to the darkest black a display can produce. OLED panels show "∞" (infinity) because black pixels turn off completely. LCD contrast is typically 1000:1–1500:1.
See Contrast: ∞ Infinity in display tests. High contrast improves perceived depth and HDR.
