- Abstract
- Subjective preference of peak luminance versus resolution was studied using a special cathode ray tube (CRT) with high intrinsic resolution as the display. Various resolution steps were obtained by defocusing the electron beam, thus worsening the primary resolution. The aim was to assess the levels of preference of the common consumer, in order to lead technical CRT design efforts toward the best compromise preference/costs. Preference ratings were collected and analyzed. Main conclusions seem to be as follows: resolution is always welcome at a relatively close viewing distance (1.5 m) and in low ambient light. On the other hand, at a larger viewing distance (3 m), there is a bias toward peak luminance, in accordance with the elementary consideration that at large distance, the fine details of the picture fall beyond the resolving power of the eye.

bio
Gaetano Caronna received his Ph.D. with honors in electronic engineering from the University of Naples in 1987. He then joined Philips Labs in Eindhoven and, subsequently, Thomson where he engaged in the field of television systems and CRTs. He is currently system leader at Videocolor Labs, the Thomson Multimedia Europe Tubes Division in Italy.G. SantoroGaetano Caronna and Gianni Santoro are with Videocolor Labs, Italy.bio
Gianni Santoro received his Ph.D. in electronic engineering at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in 1964. He then joined OMI where he was engaged in the field of on-board electronic instruments. In 1967 he joined Voxson in Rome as leader of the Deflection Yokes project. He joined Videocolor in 1971 and was involved in CRT applications. Santoro is currently manager of Videocolor's European applications department.P. TestaRome Universitybio
Pierluigi Testa received his Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in 1965. Since graduation, he has been engaged with his alma mater as a technical physics professor. Some of his main interests in applied research since 1967 include the field of CRTs, mainly laser applications, colorimetry, image quality, tube design, measuring, and testing devices. - Copyright
