Choosing Monitor Svga Vga Lcd
   
With so many monitors to choose from, before you buy, it pays to figure out which specs and features will be most important to you.
When choosing a monitor your needs depend on several factors--what applications you use, how much room you have on your desk, how much space you need on a virtual desktop, and of course how much you want to spend. From standard-issue 19-inchers to 24-inch monsters, here's how to sort out what you need.
Most monitor manufacturers offer entry-level LCD models that combine very low prices with pared-down features. These monitors work well enough for Web surfing, e-mail, and other office tasks--as long as they provide adequate resolution and screen adjustment controls for brightness, color, and other settings.
Midrange and professional lines often provide better image quality and extensive features, such as superior image-adjusting controls, USB ports (make sure you get a monitor with USB 2.0 ports--some models with USB 1.1 hubs are still on the market), a larger set of ergonomic options (such as height adjustment), and higher resolutions.
People who work mostly with text have always gravitated toward LCDs because pixels on an LCD have well-defined edges, resulting in sharply focused letters.
Some gamers still prefer CRTs because LCDs redraw their screens more slowly, which can produce blurring and motion artifacts in moving images. However, response time--the spec that governs image motion in LCDs--continues to drop, minimizing the ill effects. Modern LCDs can refresh quickly enough to make them game-worthy for most users.
With all of the display considerations above, it is critical that you have a video card installed on your computer that will take the best advantage of your display's capabilities. The largest, clearest display will perform badly if it is driven by an inadequate video card. The important characteristics of a video display card are its onboard memory (measured in megabytes, or Mb), and it's refresh rate.
