When selecting a computer, there are many choices to be made. Macs, laptops, and PCs all have their pros and cons, so the decision is often difficult. If you do, however, finally decide on purchasing a PC, you still have choices to make. While selecting a particular computer company and processing unit is important, consumers often forget that choosing a computer monitor from the many available is also a necessary decision.
A computer monitor is essential to the use of a personal computer and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit the user's needs. Most of today's monitors come in flat screen varieties for more efficient use of space and to cut down on the weight of the product. Similar to televisions, a computer monitor can be purchased to fulfill basic functions or it can be as technologically sophisticated as the user wants. So how do you choose? Below is a brief list of some of the best computer monitors on the market today that will provide consumers with a basic idea of what is available so they can decide what product is best for them.
The Viewsonic VX1940w has been rated among the best of the 19-inch widescreen LCD monitors. Perfect for general use, this model produces high image quality for graphics, movies, games, as well as basic text. The VX1940w also boasts a higher resolution that most other 19-inch monitors - 1680x1050, which is the same ratio that most 20- to 22-inch monitors offer. For under 0, this monitor provides excellent performance for a low cost and a smaller carbon footprint.
In addition to the modern LCD screen, backlit LED monitors are also available. The Dell G2410 is an HD LED Widescreen flat panel monitor which is designed to lower energy consumption while still offering 1920x1080 (HD) resolution and a 16:9 ratio. This model is also backed by a 3-year warranty, which provides extra security for consumers.
For those who are uninterested in newer technologies, the AOC CT700G has been rated the best CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor. Though it takes up more space than a flat screen monitor, this 17 inch monitor produces crisp images and accurate colors and has built-in speakers on the base. Experts say, however, that a 19 inch basic LCD monitor can be purchased for around the same price.
Choosing between computer monitors may never be easy, but users can narrow their search by getting to know the market and by recognizing their specific needs. Once a consumer knows what he needs, he can make comparisons between different types of monitors, and then between specific models. Whether LCD, LED, or even basic CRT, a computer monitor can be found to satisfy the needs of any computer user.
