Everything About LCD Monitor

When a monitor is described as having a wider viewing angle, this has no connection with the widescreen format (which simply means that that the display is physically wider).

Try looking at an LCD monitor from an angle. The image will probably be darker, or may disappear altogether. To compensate for this problem, LCD monitor makers have designed wider viewing angles which are measured in degrees (a bigger number is better). In general, look for between 120 and 170 degrees. Manufacturers measure viewing angles differently, so the best way to evaluate a monitor is to test the display yourself. Check the angle from the top, bottom, and sides, and try to re-enact how you will typically use the monitor.
