What Is Liquid Crystal Display Monitor (LCD Monitor)?
Liquid Crystal Display Monitor (LCD Monitor) is the future of computer monitors. If you've ever used a laptop or flat-screen monitor, you've seen them in action. They're the new standard for how we see images on our computers. Why not? LCDs are thin and light, so they fit into tiny laptops and can be stacked on a desk without taking up too much space. Even though they're thin and light, they still give us excellent picture quality—they're just as good as their predecessors (the cathode ray tube monitor) in terms of color accuracy and resolution. What makes an LCD different from an old-fashioned CRT? Well, you have to look at it from the physical and the technical perspectives. The material is accessible—an LCD has one layer of liquid crystals between two sheets of glass (or plastic). You apply electricity to those crystals and make them change shape, which changes how much light passes through them. The result is a crisp display that shows you everything clearly. If you're looking for the best LCD technology, it's all about IPS. This panel is considered to have the best color accuracy, viewing angles and image quality in LCD technology. You might want to check out PLS panels if you're looking for something a little different—cheaper and brighter. Developed by Samsung, these LCD panels are very similar to IPS panels, but reportedly, they are 10 percent brighter, have wider viewing angles and are cheaper to produce. VA panels are your best bet if you're looking for a middle ground between IPS and TN panels. These panels offer wider viewing angles and better color quality than TN panels but have slower response times. They also have higher contrast ratios than other panels but have a downside: they tend to exhibit color shifting when viewed from different angles. Finally, there are TN panels which are the most commonly used type of panel in LCD technology because they offer faster response times than other types of boards—making them ideal for gamers—but they suffer from poor viewing angles, which can result in ghosting effects onscreen when moving fast across multiple screens at once." The technical side is where things get interesting—you've got to apply electricity to those crystals in just the right way so that they do what you want them to do:
