While getting yourself a new computer system, we are inclined to worry and fuss over such things as the CPU speed or hard disk size, but what about the one section of your system that is used just as much? Certainly we're talking about the monitor. Often referred to as a display screen, the monitor is the component of your computer system that displays the messages and data being processed and utilized by the computer's CPU.
The two types of monitor technologies accessible to regulars are available in CRT monitors and LCD monitors. There are big differences between LCD and CRT, and while LCD technology has advanced to the point where it’s viewing quality is comparable to CRTs, many people today still choose to purchase a CRT monitor. CRTs are bigger and bulkier than an LCD, they use more power and are prone to screen flicker. LCD monitors, however, are more costly when compared to CRTs; they bring up the problem of viewing angles, and generally have less accurate color duplication.
Unlike CRT monitors, LCD displays are marketed by the actual screen dimensions
All LCD screens can actually display only a single given resolution referred to as the native resolution.
All LCD screens get their brightness from lighting behind the actual LCD films
LCD's produce their image by having a film that when a current runs through the pixel, it turns on that shade of color.
