Types of Monitors and specific Features

Crt

Crt or Cathode Ray Tube monitors are the monitors every person will have seen before. They that look like televisions. They range in size from 15 to nearby 22 Inch, and weight up to 30 kilos.

Advantages

Great value for money

Mature technology

Good for graphical detail

Can accommodate many distinct resolutions

Disadvantages

Big

Take up a lot of space

Cost more to run than an Lcd

Lcd/Tft

Lcd or Liquid Crystal Display screens have now been nearby a few years, these are the thin screens. Some look approximately like a picture frame. You will see them referred to as Lcd or Tft (Tft being a type of Lcd). They start at nearby 14 inches, and due to technological advances bigger Lcds are being produced all the time, 30 Inch are already ready with 40 inch on the way too. They weigh very limited compared to their Crt equivalent and can be mounted on a wall or shelf with ease.

Advantages

Less desk space needed

Require less power to run, more environmentally friendly

Increased Viewable area, a 15"Lcd can give the same viewable area as a 17" Crt monitor

Disadvantages

Viewing angle can sway image quality

One native resolution

More costly than a Crt

General Monitor Features

Size

Here is one area where size does matter, the bigger the monitor the easier it will be on the eye. You will be able to open more windows and the text should be easier to read. Keep in mind the viewable area, all Crt have a smaller viewable area than their size. For Example a typical 17" Crt will have a viewable area of nearby 15.8". Lcd tends to have the same viewable area, so a 15" Lcd will have a 15" viewable area. Monitor size (and Tvs) are measured diagonally, from the top left corner to the bottom right hand corner.

Resolution

Resolution is the amount of pixels displayed on screen at one time, it's ordinarily in the format Horizontal x Vertical, e.g.?- 800x600 or 1024x768. Crt monitors can display manifold resolutions easily, while Lcd monitors are optimised for 1 native resolution (They can display other resolutions, but are optimised for 1) the higher the resolution the more you can get on screen and the sharper the image.

Crt exact Features

Dot Pitch

Dot pitch is the length in millimetres in the middle of two dots of the same colour on the screen, it's ordinarily measured diagonally and you should be seeing for something nearby 0.26mm

Refresh Rate

This is the amount of time the screen is redrawn per second, most new monitors should have inexpensive refresh rates, 75Hz or higher. Some older Crts had lower refresh rates that can cause screen flicker and induce eye strain.

Lcd exact Features

Brightness

Because Lcds require their own back light to create colour, glow is an foremost factor. It's measured in candelas per metre squared or cd/m2, where one candle produces a glow of 1 candela. The higher this number, the brighter the screen.

Contrast Ratio

This is the degree of dissimilarity in the middle of the extremes of light and dark colours. The higher the dissimilarity ratio, the more detailed the image will be. Blacks will be blacker, whites will be whiter, and particularly text on the image will be more vivid. It will ordinarily be written as 500:1 or 250:1

Response Time

Refers to just how fast a pixel can turn colour. It's measured in milliseconds with 20-30ms being the normal at the moment. Gamers and citizen who watch a lot of movies on Lcd screens would be great opting for something with a fast response time, nearby 16ms as this reduces the ghosting corollary of fast motion.

When seeing to buy a new monitor all of the above needs to be considered. Keep in mind you will be seeing at your purchase day in day out for the next few years, so do not cut corners here, buy the best you can afford, your eyes will thank you for it later.

Dead Pixel Policy

Due to the difficulties related with producing Lcd screens very few brands warrant a pixel perfect (Class 1) product,
and those that do payment a premium for it.
Most of the screens we sell currently adhere to the international standard, Iso 13406-2 and use class 2 panels.
It is possible, although uncommon, for a Class 2 Lcd screen to have a small amount of faulty pixels.
In these cases, this thorough deems the screen as being 'not faulty'.

For an Lcd monitor to be determined faulty there has to be a determined amount of dead pixels:

Acceptable malfunctioning pixels by class & type per Million pixels:

2 complete pixels enduringly illuminated (a white spot)

2 complete pixels not illuminated (a black spot)

5 sub pixels enduringly on or off or intermittent fault. May blink or show a pixel as a base colour (Red, Blue, Green, Cyan, Magenta or yellow)
or, any 2 sub pixel faults within a 5 x 5 block of pixels

Also, the faults are cumulative, so if you have 1 white spot and 1 black spot per million pixels then this counts.

Native Resolution Pixel Count Example

1024 x 768 786,432 2 or more dead pixels determined faulty

1280 x 1024 1,310,720 3 or more dead pixels determined faulty

1600 x 1200 1,920,000 3 or more dead pixels determined faulty

So, You can have a 19" Lcd monitor with a low native resolution where 2 pixels would be determined faulty, but if it had a native resolution of 1600 x 1200 and therefore had many more pixels, then 2 would not be classed as faulty.

For any Lcd to be classed as faulty it must meet the above requirements, primarily those of the exact manufacturer. Please taste the constructor directly for their current dead pixel policy.
