Important Considerations in Selecting a LCD Monitor
Should you be looking to upgrade your LCD monitor, here are a few critical considerations.
Viewing Angles LCD displays are rated with regards to visible viewing angle for both the vertical and horizontal axis. The default viewing angle is sufficient for many users, unless you need a higher privacy then you definitely would look for a monitor using a viewing angle near to 90 degrees.
Monitor Resolution A LCD monitor resolution, or the number of pixels that make up the specific screen viewing area, is the one other significant feature to consider when selecting a LCD monitor. Most LCD monitors come with a common resolution of 1280×1024 pixels, this resolution should be ample for the majority of users.
Screen size The screen size would depend on your computer usage. If you are a everyday web surfer, or a small business owner then a screen size of 15″ to 17″ should be ideal. These sized monitors will be the most economical and provide all the advantages of a LCD monitor. If however you are a student, graphic design or possibly a multi-tasker then you certainly should think about finding a monitor with a display size of 19″ or higher.
Luminance The LCD monitor luminance or the measure of how much light can the computer monitor produce is yet another important feature to consider. For the casual web surfer, or the small business owner a LCD monitor with an output of 200 to 250 nits is ideal, however 500 nits or maybe more is appropriate for users who view TV and movies on their monitor.
Contrast Ratio The contrast ratio or the rating of how distinguishable different shades of color are on the screen, is another feature to look at. The higher the contrast ratio of the screen, the better the color representation is by the monitor.
Response Time The LCD Response times refer to how long it takes for the crystals in the LCD computer monitor to turn on and off. The lower the response time, the less of a blurring effect there will be on the screen. For the casual web surfer, or the small business owner a flat panel LCD monitor with 8 ms latency is deal, however 4ms or less is recommended for video gaming users.
Keep the above factors in mind and you will be likely to get the right monitor for your needs.
