Hello, my dear readers. Will provide you with an article written by Krum Marinov blog: http://www.monitoribg.com. I love the reviews and articles on the blog that the team does. And I wrote asking them to share in my blog a few of their articles. Here's the first to publish. It is a series of informative articles on "How to choose a monitor"
In recent years, computer and everything that goes with it has become an integral part of our daily lives. Crucial element of any desktop system monitor. No matter cleaire how powerful and wonderful is our computer configuration - it will make us happy if we do not have a good monitor, satisfying our needs. It is the window to our computer, we and our children often spend in front of him a few hours a day. And unlike the CPU, motherboard and RAM memory, quite directly affect our health in the long run. Nowadays the old CRT monitors (cathode ray tube) is no longer available and has been replaced by a new generation of LCD monitors (liquid crystal display). If you plan to buy a new LCD monitor, will face complex choices - will have to choose among a dozen producers and hundreds of models. Each monitor has its own characteristics and performance, which further complicates the situation.
One can dedicate a week of their time to the problem, digging through specialized sites and forums. Many of the articles offer historical information and references, as well as visual charts and diagrams are written by professionals ... for professionals. A regular user needs to know on the matter as much as it needs to not become prey to some "friendly" dealer. This post will look briefly at the characteristics of the monitor - basic concepts, technical terms, the knowledge of which is necessary for decision making in the selection of LCD monitor and help to adequately communicate cleaire with consultant-seller in the store. Features of the monitor. BASIC CONCEPTS AND TERMS LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Liquid kristalen display - an electronic display cleaire that shows images on a flat surface. The display is composed of a substance present in the liquid state, but having a number of properties inherent in the crystals. Indeed, the LCD panel consists of two glass plates bearing the transparent electrodes between cleaire which liquid crystals are located. Itself does not emit LCD screen, and change the intensity of light passing through it. Therefore, operation of LCD screens require external illumination. For this purpose cleaire we used fluorescent lamps with cold cathode cleaire or modern LED backlight (Light-Emitting Diode) - Here cathode lamps were replaced by tapes soldered together bright LEDs. LCD monitors differ in the type of mold used: TN (Twisted Nematic) - first officially presented LCD technology. Upon submission of the control voltage liquid crystal form helical structure. IPS (In-Plane Switching) - at the time of liquid crystal driving voltage swing only in one plane. MVA (Multidomain Vertical Alignment) - When the voltage liquid crystal from all areas are arranged perpendicular to the electrodes, and their orientation in each zone is independent of the others. PVA (Patterned Vertical Alignment) - the liquid crystal molecules are arranged at right angles to the governing electrodes and the image is formed at the expense of their little deviation from the specified position. PLS (Plane-to-Line Switching) is the latest discovery of Samsung. In short, despite the difference in structure, PLS matrix is very similar in its properties e-IPS. Additionally, monitors PLS matrix with better cleaire coverage of the screen - is nevertheless dull, but no crystallization, which is observed cleaire on a white background and eye irritation. Basically cleaire TN-based monitors are cheap (except gaming models), but if you decide cleaire to buy such a monitor - note that the colors will not be very precise, cleaire these models are not suitable for graphic design. However, cleaire the presence of another type of matrix is no guarantee that the monitor must be good, so when you view promotional offers please choose carefully. Here are the main technical characteristics cleaire of LCD monitors: Screen Size LCD screen size ranging from 15 to 28 inches and above in diagonal (1 inch = 2, 54 cm). Aspect ratio (width to height) are still in LCD monitors with 4:3, but recently have mass 16:9. There is also a version with 16:10. As appeared on the market and several models with a ratio 21:9 Resolution (resolution) resolution of an LCD monitor is the number of dots (pixels) that can be displayed in horizontal and vertical direction. cleaire Brightness cleaire and contrast LCD brightness is traditionally defined as the brightness of pure bel
