CRT Monitor |
|
Flat-panel technology has made some big leaps in the last few years.
Whereas flat-panel monitors used to be small, low-resolution devices
found mostly on portable systems, they now rival CRT monitors feature
for feature. When it comes to resolution, colors, refresh rate, and
viewable area, flat-panel and CRT monitors compete head to head.
Whatever monitor you buy, make sure it meets your requirements in each
of these areas.

Flat-Panel Display |
 |
Whether you are shopping to equip a future office or to buy a home
computer, you have quite a few monitor options to choose from.
Basically, you can pick from two categories of desktop monitors: CRTs
and flat-panel displays. Of course, you will get an LCD monitor if you
buy a laptop system, but do not forget that most laptops have a port for
connecting a desktop monitor. Both types of desktop monitor offer
advantages and disadvantages.

ELD Display |
 |
ELD displays are
similar to LCD monitors but use a phosphorescent film held between two
sheets of glass. A grid of wires sends current through the film to
create an image.

Plasma-Gas Display |
 |
These thin
displays are created by sandwiching a special gas (such as neon or
xenon) between two sheets of glass. When the gas is electrified via a
grid of small electrodes, it glows. By controlling the amount of voltage
applied at various points on the grid, each point acts as a pixel to
display an image. Plasma and gas plasma displays are expensive, but they
provide high-quality images and can be much larger than typical LCDs.
Some plasma displays are big enough to be hung on a wall and used like a
large-screen television |
