It does not determine resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, or calibration quality, which depend on the specific model. This is why two monitors with the same type of panel can be very different. </div> <p>These technologies fall into two families. In <strong>Liquid Crystal</strong> panels (LCD: TN, VA, and IPS), a backlight is always on behind the screen, and the crystals act like shutters to let more or less light through. In <strong>OLED</strong>, there is no backlight: every pixel on the screen produces its own light, and when it needs to be black, it simply turns off.</p>
