It has been used for years in the portable and notebook computing markets, but recent developments have increase performance and size while reducing costs making them viable in the desktop environment. The LCD monitors are lightweight, extremely thin and uses less power than the CRT based monitors.
The LCD displays are marketed by its actual screen dimensions. The measurement of the displayable area of the screen is from the lower corner to the opposite upper corner of the display. LCD screens can display only a single given resolution which is referred to as the native resolution and this is the physical number of horizontal and vertical pixels that make up the LCD matrix of the display. Setting a computer display to a resolution lower than this resolution will result in fuzzy images.
