Monitors
The monitor is your view into the computer. Monitors come in all shapes and sizes, but the main ones being sold today are LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and Plasma monitors.
There's quite a big difference between LCD, Plasma and CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors and CRT monitors are slowly being phased out and replaced by LCD's.
LCD monitors are much lighter and thinner, they take up less space, and provide a crisper more focused image. Plasma monitors provide high contrast, excellent color, softer images, and no geometric distortion but are only available in 32 inch or larger screen sizes (due to large pixel pitch). Plasma monitors are heavy and not very effective in a highly lighted environment - due to glare from the screen. Plasma's are not your everyday monitors - yet. These output devices are changing and improving each year.
If you ever wondered how computer monitors work, we'll take a look at that here. We'll also look at the different options you have when purchasing a new monitor, what you should look for, and what the best computer monitor is for your needs. Finally, we'll go over proper cleaning of your LCD computer monitor.
