Leaving Lightboost On
Posted: 09 Jan 2014, 16:01
If I leave this on all the time, will it damage my monitor in any way?
Q: Does LightBoost shorten the life of the monitor’s backlight?
No. LightBoost is a built-in function of a monitor. It is a part of nVidia 3D Vision.
LED’s do not undergo meaningful wear and tear by being turned on/off, when done within the LED’s power specifications. LightBoost is simply a low-frequency motion-optimized PWM (pulse-width modulation), and is dimmer than non-LightBoost 100% Brightness. LED stand for Light Emitting Diode, which are semiconductor devices. They are also used for fiber optic cables that do not use lasers, such as TosLink (LED’s that switch on/off millions of times per second!).
