  2. Polygraph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph

    American inventor Leonarde Keeler testing his improved polygraph on Kohler, a former witness for the prosecution at the 1935 trial of Richard Hauptmann. A polygraph, often incorrectly referred to as a lie detector test, is a junk science device or procedure that measures and records several physiological indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while a ...

  3. Display lag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_lag

    Display lag is a phenomenon associated with most types of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) like smartphones and computers and nearly all types of high-definition televisions (HDTVs). It refers to latency, or lag between when the signal is sent to the display and when the display starts to show that signal. This lag time has been measured as high ...

  4. Response time (technology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_time_(technology)

    Response time is the amount of time a pixel in a display takes to change. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts. Display monitors with long response times would create display motion blur around moving objects, making them unacceptable for rapidly moving images.

  5. Input lag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_lag

    Input lag or input latency is the amount of time that passes between sending an electrical signal and the occurrence of a corresponding action.. In video games the term is often used to describe any latency between input and the game engine, monitor, or any other part of the signal chain reacting to that input, though all contributions of input lag are cumulative.

  6. Comparison of CRT, LCD, plasma, and OLED displays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CRT,_LCD...

    For the majority of images it will consume 60–80% of the power of an LCD. OLED displays use 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image that is primarily black as they lack the need for a backlight, [39] while OLED can use more than three times as much power to display a mostly white image compared to an LCD. [40]

  7. Refresh rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate

    The refresh rate, also known as vertical refresh rate or vertical scan rate in reference to terminology originating with the cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), is the number of times per second that a raster-based display device displays a new image. This is independent from frame rate, which describes how many images are stored or generated every ...

  8. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    A liquid-crystal display ( LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly [1] but instead use a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome.

  9. Software performance testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_performance_testing

    Software performance testing. In software quality assurance, performance testing is in general a testing practice performed to determine how a system performs in terms of responsiveness and stability under a particular workload. [1] It can also serve to investigate, measure, validate or verify other quality attributes of the system, such as ...
