It doesn't increase it necessarily either. But the contrast on an LCD is basically determined by what percentage of the light the LCD shutters can block. If the shutters can block 99.9% of the light, then the brightest output will be 1000x brighter than the dimmest. Increasing the backlight just increases both in proportion so the contrast ratio is unaffected.<br><br>1100 nits still ain't crap next to the sun. A cloudy day outside is almost 10x as bright as a brightly lit room. A cloudless day at noon is about 10x as bright again as a cloudy one. Making this twice as bright as a regular LCD is just a jumping-off point.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[why not the LS2/LS7?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 3:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Runco shows off "High Bright" outdoor prototype set]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/03/runco-shows-off-high-bright-outdoor-prototype-set/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/03/runco-shows-off-high-bright-outdoor-prototype-set/</guid><description><![CDATA[I suppose there is a legitimate need for high brightness on a set marketed for outdoor use.  I assume that generally means it will be used for video signs.  Indoors, the typical 400 is way too much for me, I usually turn down display backlight brightness to as low as it lets me.  Except for special uses (outdoor, etc.), the brightness spec of a display is more about getting the highest spec number than anything else, most panels are just ridiculously bright.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JeffDM]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 7:39AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
