Resolution may be correct, scaling may be set properly, and the panel can still lose fine color detail before the image reaches the screen.</p> <p>One possible cause is <strong>chroma subsampling</strong>. Digital video can represent brightness detail separately from color-difference detail, then store or transmit the color portion at a lower spatial resolution. That trade is often hard to notice in photographic or moving video, but computer interfaces contain sharp colored edges that can expose it quickly.</p>
