Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8746 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
28 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 10.4 ms rise
↘ 17.6 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 68 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
58 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 27.6 ms rise
↘ 30.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 94 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Apple iPad Air (2019) 平板电脑评测
Apple iPad Air (2019) 平板电脑评测

虽然Apple iPad Air(2019)位于iPad Pro 11iPad(2018)之间,但它在价格方面直接与当前的高端Android平板电脑竞争。与入门级iPad相比,它提供更大,完全层压的屏幕,更多存储空间,并且它具有更强大的SoC,价格也高了1500元。

在技术方面,Apple推出了另一款没有任何真正缺点的优质平板电脑,并采用了前几年就被证明不错的技术。然而,对于用户而言,模型的组合变得更难以掌握,由于同时存在多代Pencil,这变得更加困难。

Apple iPad Air(2019)将现代SoC与成熟的技术相结合。

这台平板电脑的主要缺陷可能是附带的配件太少,配件价格太高以及较长的充电时间。然而,这在日常操作中几乎不重要。凭借低入门级价格,Touch ID及其音频端口,iPad Air仍然是一款极具吸引力的产品。
