Hi there,
LCD monitors are a bit different to CTR ... Just forget for a moment the Hz.
(60Hz is fine!)
What do you want to know is what kind of LCD do I buy!
There are mainly two kinds of systems:
1.) PVA-(Patterned Vertical Alignment) and
2.) IPS-(In-Plane-Switching-)
To shorten things - you have to ask yourself, what do I want to do?
For graphical works - take Nr. 1 - better Quality in Color and slower response time, more than 5ms
For gaming things - take Nr. 2 - quick response time - 2ms meaning no lagging / blur (please help me to find the right word?) - but not a very good quality in color etc..
Nowadays you get all these 16:9 and 16:10 and so on. Before that you had 4:3
Example:
1920 x 1440 pixel = 4:3
1920 x 1080 pixel = 16:9
1680 x 1050 pixel = 16:10
(As you can see, comparing 4:3 to 16:9 - they took (stole) you a lot of pixels and selling that as a feature!) - because you have a cinema view.
Jes, what a .... . Sorry, I just hate it...
So, today every LCD should have a DVI connection as well.
Ah, as well - they do have brilliant/glossy/shiny/bright screens - and that might be a good thing to watch movies - in a dark room!
A Light from behind and you may be unable to see enough....
A monitor is a very - if not the most important hardware of your computer - it's about your eyes and your health! You're looking / starring at it for hours!!
So, my advise - go in a big shop where they have a lot of monitors.
Stay in front of every monitor and look straight in to it, from an left and right angle until you can't see anymore, have a look with a torch / flashlight (small one is enough) - ask them to show you a video or even a game - and watch their reaction!
Make notice - do not buy right away! Compare your favorite than in the Internet.....
Lot of work - but you won't regret it later!!! That's just the very, very short version.
Jambo :wink:
