What is the difference between an lcd and hd computer monitor?

Q. I'm looking for a computer monitor for my husband for christmas. He ia a big WOW player and im looking for soemthing i can aford and that will b a good investment.
I'm looking to spend around 200 to 250.

A. HD is a TV term. It means anything that has a resolution equal to, or higher than 1280 by 720. So a 17" or 19" monitor will meet that requirement.

There is a higher HD resolution of 1920 by 1080. You would probably have to go out of your price range to meet that.

You need to decide on the aspect ratio and the screen size.

Widescreen is good for movies and some people just prefer stuff spread across their field of view. But it is a bit less glass area and resolution than a regular screen.

LCDs look their best at the native resolution, so for some people bigger is not better. If you like larger text and icons then a 19" with a lower resolution may look better than the 20" where the higher resolution makes everything smaller on the screen. If your husband eyes are still bright and sharp, then the higher resolutions will get more information onto the screen at one time.


Here is a good place to start:

Or Shopzilla, or Pricewatch, or the data miner of your choice.

Also I would suspect that there will be some bargains on Friday, if you are willing to get up early enough for them.


Do I have to replace the lcd monitor to get a sharper view after I upgrade my new graphic card?
Q. I bought GTX 470 by EVGA. However, the texts and everything looks kinda blurry at 1280x800 or 768. My monitor is Gateway, FPD2485W and bought it three years ago. If I replace the monitor with a newer one, will that make everything more sharp and clear with XP or 7?

A. No duh it looks blurry. You're not running your LCD at native resolution. Turn it up to 1920x1200 and everything will look fine.
