CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201)Mobile DevicesEasy
A competitive gamer wants a new laptop display that offers the fastest pixel response time and highest refresh rate, and is willing to accept less accurate colors and narrower viewing angles as a trade-off. Which display technology should the technician recommend?
- AOLED
- BIPS
- CE-ink
- DTN
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. TN
TN (Twisted Nematic) panels have the fastest response times and support the highest refresh rates, making them popular for gaming, but they sacrifice color accuracy and viewing angle compared to IPS or OLED.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. OLED offers great color and contrast but is not typically prioritized for the fastest refresh gaming panels at lower cost.
- B. IPS offers accurate color and wide viewing angles but generally slower response times than TN.
- C. E-ink is used for low-power e-readers, not gaming displays.
TN Panel
A display technology (Twisted Nematic) known for very fast response times and high refresh rates, but narrower viewing angles and weaker color reproduction.
- Fastest response time of common panel types
- Preferred for competitive/gaming laptops
- Weaker color accuracy and viewing angles than IPS/OLED
Memory trick: 'TN = Total Need for speed'
