Knowledge boundary
- Source: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/EX-ITTEN-006-oled-lcd-equivalence.md
- Status: parameter-sweep-complete-device-study-pending
- Discipline: Measurement
- Confidence: not explicitly stated
- Primary objective: When emitted colorimetry is matched, which spectral, black-level, reflection, off-axis, temporal, and local-dimming variables change appearance or performance? The class-label account fails if within-class device variance rivals or exceeds the OLED-versus-LCD mean.
- Primary claims/evidence: At 300-nit white, modeled effective contrast changed from 600,000:1 to 79.5:1 for the illustrative OLED profile between 0 and 1,000 lux, and from 3,750:1 to 38.3:1 for the LCD profile. The values are parameter consequences, not measurements of named products. They demonstrate that emitted matching cannot establish viewed equivalence.

The values are parameter consequences, not measurements of named products. They demonstrate that emitted matching cannot establish viewed equivalence.
- Limitations/known uncertainties: Question and falsifier: When emitted colorimetry is matched, which spectral, black-level, reflection, off-axis, temporal, and local-dimming variables change appearance or performance? The class-label account fails if within-class device variance rivals or exceeds…

Challenge and confidence decay
The source was challenged for construct validity, independent replication, boundary conditions, transfer, and comparative baselines. Confidence should decay when the source lacks a dated replication, when its technology or target population changes, or when later artifacts report contradictory findings. Revalidation is recommended before treating context-bound recommendations as universal.
