LCD Pixels edit

Wikipedia's logo displayed on an LCD monitor. Note that when magnified, each pixel actually consists of 3 discrete colors (red, green, and blue) in varying proportions.

An alternative image.

Diliff's example attempt.

Demonstrates how pixels are drawn on an LCD monitor, which most people don't know the workings of. Aside from that, nothing remarkable.

Oppose. The picture does not show what it intends to show, the red green and blue phosphors. It is all bluisch gray and washed out. --Dschwen 22:22, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I tried it before, but Redrave is right, the concept of this picture with the magnification as an inset is actually pretty good. Maybe I'll try again as well, but my macro lens is not with me right until after easter. --Dschwen 22:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is on the monitor should probably be pondered as well. I think that text or images dont look good, maybe four solid colors (CMYK?,RGBK?,RGBKW?) with the zoomed region being the middle? I too will have my camera after easter, lets see if my poor old Canon PowerShot S500 is up to it. You guys make me want a 5/20/30D now.-Ravedave 04:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Awsome concept, meh implmentation. I might try my hand at this... -Ravedave 22:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for the same reasons as above. I'd give it a go too, but the dot pitch on my LCD isn't very condusive :S (17" widescreen and 1920x1200 res). Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 22:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I had a go anyway, and managed to get something respectable. I will try to get a better photo from a larger dot-pitch monitor tomorrow if possible. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 23:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per nomination: nothing remarkable. -- P199 23:39, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - My perfect picture would be something like the 1st one, but color balanced & straight, with an inset square zoombox (like from the machu picu image below) that showed the closeup of what Diliff's picture looks liek fullsize. It would also have the pixels be very vibrant. Then I would support it for FP. I forgot that I loaned out my camera so it looks like I can't try. -Ravedave 23:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
