If you are reading this you are probably using a computer. The screen you are using to view this is called the computer monitor. Monitors these days come in all different sizes where the Lcd screen is the most base type of monitor to have. A person's choice for a monitor depends on the areas the monitor is being used in and one has to also think about graphics cards to sustain the assorted resolutions computer monitors have in today's society.
This description is written to help you pick the write computer monitor for you. In this technological age it can be hard to pick the right computer hardware for your specific needs and hopefully this guide along with some decent study can help you pinpoint the right monitor for you.

Types
There are two different types of computer monitors you will have to pick from. The Crt and the Lcd monitor.
The Crt monitor is the accepted bulky and heavy monitor which many businesses still use today and they control in a fairly similar manner to a Tv. They are the screens seen in the older movies such as the first Mission Impossible, The Matrix and Die Hard. As computers and Tv's are inviting towards the digital era, you would be wise to pick from the increasingly beloved Lcd Screen.
The flat screen computer monitor or more commonly known Lcd computer monitor is the main type of monitor produced today. It offers a sharper image than the Crt monitor, normally flat screen to save on space and is lighter in weight compared to the Crt model.
Price
As the Lcd computer monitor is growing in the commerce Crt models become harder to find. As with all things though, they can be bought online at most large commercial auctioning and shopping sites. A Crt screen will vary in price depending on the size of the monitor. A accepted price for a Crt Monitor ranges from 0-0 where as the Lcd ranges from 0-00. As you can see, the Lcd provides a cheaper choice while also giving what many believe to be best performance. Once again, prices vary depending on the screen size.
Size
A Crt monitors sizes ranges in the middle of 15 inch - 24 inch generally. Lcd computer monitors will range in the middle of 15 inch - 30 inch. Depending on the environment you will be working in while using the monitor, it is not all the time the best to go and buy the biggest monitor you can find just because you can! On top of buying a larger screen, other hardware sustain for screen resolutions will be needed such as a best graphics card. I tend to tell habitancy that if you are using the monitor for general personal and office use then a screen no larger than 21 inch will suffice. For gaming and graphical use a monitor no smaller than 21 inch should be used as the larger resolutions furnish the user with a best photo for more strict decisions based on the image viewed. It's also good to pick either you want a widescreen monitor or a accepted monitor, a matter of personal opinion.
Remember also, that a larger monitor size will result in more pixels being lighted up which therefore results in larger power consumptions.
Resolution
The resolution of the computer monitor is the amount of pixels displayed horizontally x vertically. 1920 x 1080 is the resolution my monitor is set to as I have a 24" while person who has a 17" monitor will commonly use a 1280 x 1024 screen resolution. In the end, it all depends on the size of the screen but it is good to note the resolution a screen can support. If you were going out to buy a 21" which could not sustain 1600 x 1200 then you would be getting ripped off. For accepted accepted resolutions viewed on different sized monitors look below.
15 inch monitor: 1024 x 768
17 inch monitor: 1280 x 1024
19 inch monitor: 1280 x 1024
21 inch monitor: 1600 x 1200
23 inch monitor: 1920 x 1080
24 inch monitor: 1920 x 1080
Resolutions also vary depending on the brand as a 23" Dell Sp2309W will sustain a whopping 2048 x 1152!
Refresh Rate
The refresh rate of a monitor is basically how many times a second the graphics card updates the image on your screen. Say you had a monitor which used a refresh rate of 1Mhz. It would take exactly 1 second before a new screen would appear which means that you would have to wait a second to view anyone you typed or clicked in that second! It would be highly frustrating for most habitancy to say the least. An accepted and accepted refresh rate your monitor should be able to sustain would be 60Mhz while it is recommended that you have a refresh rate of 75Mhz or over.
Graphics Compatibility
From all of the guidance and facts I have read over the years I was never precisely told about the uncut operation a monitor can give out when it is being used in sync with a graphics card. The graphics card precisely never came into the photo when in reality it matters a lot! As I have already stated, larger monitors will have to have a best graphics card to compensate for all the extra pixels the monitor possesses. When buying computer monitors you should also look for a fairly decent graphics card which can sustain your needs, even if it means spending an extra .
Choosing a computer monitor can be a mind boggling task. Simplifying them into these categories should help you to make a best and more informative choice. On a final and more opinionated note Samsung monitors, Dell monitors and Acer monitors are among the best in the enterprise as they offer great designs along with great performance.
In the end though, computer monitors are significant to everyone who is buying and using a computer.
