Polarizer A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation through. Polarized material with perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal.

R Refresh rate The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This number is usually stated in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tomes per second. S SmartContrast Unique technology that dynamically analyzes displayed content and automatically optimizes a LCD monitor's contrast ratio for maximum visual clarity and viewing enjoyment, stepping up backlighting for clearer, crisper and brighter images or dimming backlighting for clear display of images on dark backgrounds. For monitors with SmartContrast, contrast ratio achieves 3000:1, the highest available today in a desktop LCD monitor.
