LCD Monitors – Flatscreen Displays

Because of dramatic improvements in the technology required to produce LCD monitors, and in particular larger screen widescreen LCD monitors, prices for these displays has fallen sharply over the last five years, much to the advantage of people looking to grab some more screen real estate without breaking the bank. Today even a 22” widescreen from a trusted brand like Samsung is cheaper than a 17” CRT monitor was five or ten years ago.

There are some key things you want to look for when evaluating LCD monitors, so you that you get the best viewing experience. Many people are starting at a computer screen for 8+ hours a day, and having on that is clear and easy to read will reduce stress on the eyes and make a long day in the office much more bearable. One of those key statistics is the contrast ratio and dynamic contrast ratio, which is a measure of how luminous (bright) the brightest color (white) in comparison to the darkest color (black). A higher contrast ratio will produce a display that has brighter color and contrast and make it easier to do things like photo editing, design, and similar activities. Another statistic to look for is the native resolution on the monitor. A higher resolution means more pixels and a sharper, crisper display capability. Now you may choose to go with a small resolution to go easier on the eyes, but it is generally recommended to run a monitor at its native resolution to get the best performance.
