Even if a monitor is a part of the slightest difference in terms of the speed of your computer, it can make some of the biggest differences in terms of comfort and productivity. This guide is intended to give you the details you need to know to choose the best monitor for what you need for that.
Rabat panel LCD monitors have become all the rage in a matter of a few years, the old CRT monitors have almost become obsolete, especially on new computers. The old monitors are not bad. There is much to be loved, especially in terms of value for money and in terms of performance. But we can not fight the change. We will focus on LCD monitors flat because it is often best to take into consideration.
First, the connection to the computer. Older monitors use a VGA cable that carry signals from the computer screen. The signal that goes hand in hand, it is an analog signal, and it can become slightly degraded, and it is just an old technology. Many flat-panel monitors support this old system, but it’s usually just for backwards compatibility. The most recent is a type of digital cable genre, which is intended to be used for LCD monitors. The performance of this new genre is better, but if you are upgrading an old computer, make sure your computer can operate that monitor.
Second is the screen resolution. That’s how many pixels can be displayed on the monitor. The higher the resolution, the more it can be on the screen. That means sharper images with textures much more flexible, but it also means that things appear smaller than the increase resolution does not increase the size of the screen. Usual today is 1024 x 768 or 1280 X 960. The computers used to have 800 * 600, but which has all but disappeared, except on very old computers, or those that are not managed properly. I make 1280 X 960, because it gives a lot of room for a work space on the screen, but with less than a 19-inch monitor, 1024 X 768 would be more appropriate.
Refresh Rate is another factor that comes into play CRT monitors use a process of the evolution of pixels on the screen to show the new images, updated from top to bottom in lines at a certain rate per second. With this old style 60MHz (60 refreshes per second) is the minimum front of the screen started to flicker. LCD monitors do not have this problem and will look fine on 60MHz.When running games a rate higher than what is needed, often up to 85MHz or higher. Make sure that the monitor you plan to use supports at least 60MHz with the resolution of your choice for normal use and 85MHz if you want to play games.
A specification that is new to the screens monitors that have no impact on CRT monitors is latency. Although the refresh rate can be high, the picture of the little dots that make up the LCD to take a little time to change, that change is the latency. Obviously, if this latency is too high, it is possible that you get a bullet in the games before you know, which is not good. Latences improved, but only monitors claimed 8ms latency were really good for the games. Latences tend to be exaggerated and a latency 8ms actually averaged 12ms. With most ratings multiplied by 1.5 to get the average.
The screen brightness can vary from place to place on the screen. Some observers have obvious bright and dull sides rooms while others are more consistent. Most had some variation, but the less the better. Brand name monitors tend to perform better than cheaper versions without the brand name.
Extras like little speakers are not worth much about. They have a limited use, and I prefer having separate speakers and the monitor kept simple.
After reviewing these, you should have enough to make a good decision. Remember that a little more money spent on a monitor is a good investment, and unlike many other computer parts, upgrades are not needed so often.
