How To Decide On An Ideal Computer Monitor


Accessories like Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse are absolutely essential for the Computer. It is not possible to operate the computer without them.



The Ideal Monitor

Computer Monitors are not new to us. We spend hours in front of it by doing official work, playing games, watching favorite movies and surfing social network sites. A monitor may be called as a visual display output device that reproduces data from the CPU and works as an interface between CPU and the user. A monitor is connected to the CPU with a cable through a video adaptor or video card. The CPU or Central Processing Unit sends information to the video adaptor about what needs to be displayed on the screen. The function of the video adaptor is to convert the signals sent by CPU,  into a sent of corresponding signals and sending them to the Monitor. After reading the signals received from the video adaptor, the monitor finally displays the requisite data  


With the advancement of research, earlier CRT monitors have become obsolete and new generation of monitors like LCD/LED/OLED  have taken its place. Monitors which are clear, bright and large facilitate easier operation for business. Monitors whose resolution is at least (1920 x 1080 or more) with a scree size of at least 21" (diagonally) should be an ideal choice. However, larger monitors like 27" though costlier allow the users to work without strain on eyes for hours. As a basic rule, bigger the LCD monitor the higher the display resolution. Another point should be remembered while choosing a monitor that it can be easily tilted and adjusted for height. Nowadays, monitors with touch-sensitive screens are also available in the market. They enable the users to have more control over various programs by tapping, swiping and dragging on the screen. This leads to faster and easier operation. 










LCD Monitor

LCD or Liquid Crystal Display monitors are one of the most popular monitors today and widely used by innumerable number of individuals both at work and home. They need less power, need less space, lightweight, compact with excellent height adjuster and brilliant display. LCD monitors are of two types - TFT (Active Matrix LDC Technology) most common in use with superb picture quality. The other type is 'Passive Matrix Technology' which is not very popular with users.







LED Monitor

More recent invention is the LED or Light Emitting Diode monitors which claims to have better picture clarity compared to LCD monitors. The basic difference between a LCD monitor and a LED monitor is that in case of LCD monitor 'cold cathode light' is used to power up the LCD panel, whereas, in LED monitor 'light emitting diode' is used to power up the LCD panel. It enhances the luminosity and clarity of picture. There are three types of LED monitors available based on how the diodes are placed in the panel. They are - Direct LED, Edge LED and RGB LED. While white diodes are used in case of 'Direct LED' & 'Edge LED' monitors - color diodes ( Red, Green & Blue ) are used to produce 'RGB LED' monitors. Whereas Edge LEDs are mainly used for production of computer monitor Direct LED and 'RGB LED' are used for production of  'High Definition TV' 





Side by side picture quality of LCD and LED monitor. It can be seen the picture of the LED monitor (right) is sharper and has better resolution.
