Everything About LCD Monitor

HiColor Technology has been successfully developed by AUO using CCFL backlights to increase color saturation by 33% as compared to conventional LCD screens. Following the latest development trend in LEDs, AUO developed HiColor using RGB LED backlights, which can reach 105% NTSC while providing natural performance of red, green and blue lights and enabling rich, bright, and vivid display colors.

AUO also developed several techniques to improve LED backlights’ image performance. For instance, Color Management eliminates artificial color caused by inconsistencies between the signal and the light source. The intensity of the RGB LEDs can be changed using the Flexible Color Temperature Setting without losing luminance. Other advantages of HiColor Technology includes instant light, mercury and lead free, low temperature start, faster response time, and vibration and shock safe.

What makes LCD display monitors different from the traditional CRT monitors is that actual screen dimensions are used to market LCD monitors. This is the screen’s displayable area, from the upper corner to the lower corner of the display. The aspect ratio of the screen is one of the more confusing parts about understanding LCD monitors. Most people are used to CRT displays, which has a 4:3 ratio of vertical to horizontal measurement. LCD screens, however, are marketed as wide screen displays, which looks at the diagonal measurement. However, its aspect ratio is still very similar to the wide screen TV’s 16:9 display. Make sure you look at the horizontal and vertical measurements as well as the aspect ratio of the LCD screen.

Organic LED’s are seen as the display technology of the future mainly because of the cost factor which is way cheaper than current display technologies. With the old and reliable CRT on its way out, slowly being replaced first by plasma and then LCD’s, the evolution of technology makes life easier and a whole lot lighter.
One of the enticing facts about OLED’s is the ability to print one out with a device as simple as your desktop printer, further processed into any shape of display that can be thought of. Read the rest of this entry »

Everybody knows how annoying a scratched computer LCD display can ruin your day or even cross your eyes, straining it too much causing headaches. Luckily, there are protective display films that can be fitted onto them to prevent such incidents. These scratches are actually on a protective acrylic sheet that sits above the actual glass screen to prevent such incidents and they can also protect you from prying eyes with special treatment that prevents viewing at an angle that would be off the front of the screen. This prevents you from getting victimized by identity thieves who sometimes prey upon unsuspecting people who uses their portsbles out of the office. Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s LCD displays (TV’s or Monitors) are already power saving with most rated with Energy Star abilities. They are however still quite capable of eating a lot of power due to the back light which is most often an extremely thin and flat fluorescent tube that needs quite a lot of power to initiate the charge. That is why it is vital you unplug the unit or get a power strip with individual power switches to turn-off these gadgets when not in use. Read the rest of this entry »

The LCD technology of today is better and more energy efficient that the old CRT because of the fact that a CRT needs more juice for it to work properly. LCD’s are energy star compliant and are purely digital meaning they use no analog to digital converters unlike their analog counterparts of days gone by. There is however an important thing to remember with LCD monitors, they are more sensitive than your old CRT. Read the rest of this entry »

The LCD business industry may seem to have been on the low these days, but experts are saying that next year will be the rebound year.

The optimistic forecast has been attributed to falling inventory levels and a projected increase in orders. In addition, second-tier system manufacturers could agree to a price increase for monitors and notebook panels by mid-January 2009. However, first-tier system makers are unlikely to accept a price hike until February.

Meanwhile, global inventory LCD monitor inventory levels dropped to approximately 4.5 million units in November and are expected to plummet to 2.5 in December. If not replenished, inventory levels could reach record lows of 100,000-200,000 units by January 2009. A similiar fate is expected for notebook panels, which posted four million units in November. December inventory is projected to drop to 2.5 million units and could reach zero if production has not increased by January 2009.

So what does this mean for the rest of us? It means that with more profit next year, we should expect better LCD monitors as well.

Your old CRT monitors, while bulky and quite unattractive to look at, these were built to last. They are tougher than the current trend which is LCD monitors. During those CRT times, you can easily clean your monitor with just a spray of a glass cleaner and then wipe out the dirt. There were no problems in cleaning the screen. But now, LCD screens are fast replacing the CRT monitors as the choice for a computer monitor. If you are new to this, I am telling you now, DON’T SPRAY glass cleaners to the LCD screen. DON’T USE paper towels. Use ONLY microfiber or a lint free cloth. lastly, you can opt to look for a commercial LCD cleaner, this way we can be sure we do not destroy our expensive investment because of our ignorance.

For a color on a pixel to get activated in an LCD monitor, a current runs through the crystals to change its state and produce color. The response time is the amount of time the crystals in the panel take for them to move to an on state from an off state. The rising response time is the amount of time it takes for the crystals to turn on, and the falling time is the time it takes for the crystals to move to an off state from an on state. The rising time tends to be very fast on LCD monitors, but the falling time is usually slower, causing a blurred effect on vivid, moving images on black backgrounds. The lower the reseponse time, the lower the blurred effect on the monitor. Today, response times also refer to the gray to gray rating that produces a lower speed than the traditional response time.
