Whats the best company for LCD TVs in INDIA?

Q. Screensize 32 inch

A. Neither. LCD TVs are a scam. There are 10 year old PC monitors with higher resolution than a 32" LCD TV. Buy a 30" Dell UltraSharp monitor with HDMI/DVI-Digital, Component & Composite input instead.

32" TVs will generally have a pathetic resolution of 1366x768. A 32 inch monitor will have 2560x1600 or more. Thats over FOUR times the pixels.

Buy external speakers. TV speakers are a joke.

What is the best monitor i can buy for 170 dollars?

Q. I am just trying to find the best monitor for 170 dollars i am using it mostly for gaming. i was looking at and BenQ GW2450 but didnt know if it was any good. What are some other good monitors in that price range?

A. In reality, there are only 4 LCD panel manufactures in the world: LG, Samsung, Sony and Sharp. BenQ and everyone else simply buys the panel only and assembles it with their electronics in their own case.
This 22" from Newegg is perfect as it has an HDMI input. A lot of monitors still lack such an input in 2012.

BTW, people who buy Viewsonic stuff are the most picky people on earth. They are used by photographers and Mac users who are waaaay more picky than your Windows user.

A. Yes, that configuration would play WoW and Borderlands 2 on ultra without lag.

But it's not the most cost-effective build for the money. You're burning money on things which don't improve performance and skimping in other areas you shouldn't.

First of all, dual GTX 550 Ti's is quite powerful. However, it's always better to have a single higher-end card than a pair of lesser cards running in SLI or Crossfire. SLI performance doesn't scale equally for all games. SLI/CF setups also experience more graphics driver glitches/bugs and also may run afoul of micro-stuttering. Instead of two GTX 550 Ti cards, you're better off with a single GTX 660, which can play top-end titles like BF3 on ultra at 1080p.

By the way, for WoW and Borderlands 2 on that 1366x768 monitor, even a single GTX 550 Ti is enough to run smoothly on ultra.

Second, AMD processors have weaker gaming performance than Intel. Core i5 is the best choice for gaming builds. Even Core i3 beats most AMD processors.

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/amd-fx-8120-6100-4100_6.html#sect0

Third, putting 16GB of RAM into a gaming rig is just wasting money. No games utilize more than 4GB of RAM. With 8GB you've got enough to keep your rig future-proof for the next 3-4 years. Gaming requires a high-end graphics

Fourth, you want a good quality power supply- something from a top brand like Corsair or Antec, not the generic one.

Finally, why do you have a secondary hard drive of 500GB? There's no reason for it... and unless you're storing a TON of videos and music, 2TB isn't needed for your main drive. A 1TB drive would be plenty. You might consider an SSD for super-fast boot times along with a 1TB secondary drive, but that's a degree of decadence you might not be interested in ;)

Instead of starting with the Mega Special I, start with the Mega Special III (base price $825)

I suggest taking the air cooling option - Cooler master Hyper 212 EVO rather than liquid cooling. That's fine even for moderate overclocking (which isn't necessary with a Core i5) and is basically zero maintenance.

Upgrade to the Corsair TX650 power supply and 2GB GTX 660 (which is currently a free upgrade from the GTX 560 Ti)

Keep the default Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H motherboard and 8GB of 1600Mhz RAM... those are fine.

You can still chose the Raidmax Augusta case if you really like it... Otherwise the default Cooler Master HAF 912 is just as good and costs less.

Add 64-bit Windows 7, your Azza gaming keyboard and mouse, your 600W PMPO speakers (although I recommend at least getting the Creative T3130) and you're set.

You can choose their ultra care options, although they're pretty much a rip-off. The professional wiring option is pointless when you're running a single graphics card- there's PLENTY of space inside the case, no airflow problems. The ultra enhanced packaging is just some extra foam that won't really matter if the delivery guy tosses the box over a fence. Assuming it doesn't suffer some awful mishap, their standard packaging provides ample protection.

Even with the Thermal Fusion 400 compound and Professional wiring options, your total is $1207 before taxes/shipping, without monitor.

I advise AGAINST getting your monitor from CyberpowerPC, I don't really like their prices, or the models offered. Get that from Newegg or Amazon. For example, this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824113030

Or if you want a full 1080p monitor, this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009316

So you spend less, for a better-performing system. Good luck!

How to set up the LCD Monitor Circuitry(details) for DIY overhead projection?

Q. I have searched a lot but this step seems to have not been explained in any of the sites on net.Please give illustrated details as I might attempt to set up an overhead projector in future for gaming and movies on the wall.I want details regarding the connection of LCD on the overhead projector with my computer and safety measures and voltage requirements.please help.
Thank You both for your answers.

I have to say this that presently my PC LCD monitor (Acer AL1515) is working and up in good shape,so I don't want to disturb it,instead, I have a laptop Paper Led which has been discarded because there were problems with its pcb(inverter) a long thin strip of electronic board at the lower edge of the paper led.Any idea if I can make the paper led alive and running again to place it over the Fresnel lens of the overhead projector?

A. Most projectors accept two types of signals--computer VGA (or RGB) and television video (composite RCA or component RCA, sometimes S-video or HDMI ). There are no important voltage requirements for video as those are usually low voltage signal lines. Where there might be a problem is in the length of cables. The power for the projector is standard wall socket power.
You may have to invert the image if you mount projector to ceiling with base up. Just make it sturdy.

A. Apple Inc. currently sells LCD computer displays; a wide variety of CRT computer displays have been sold in the past.
n the very beginning (throughout the 1970s), Apple did not manufacture or sell displays of any kind, instead recommending users plug-into their television sets or (then) expensive third party monochrome monitors. However, in order to offer complete systems through its dealers, Apple began to offer various third party manufactured 9" monochrome monitors, re-badged as the Monitor II.

[edit] First generation

Apple's manufacture history of CRT displays began in 1980, starting with the Monitor /// that was introduced alongside and matched the Apple III business computer. It was a 12" monochrome (green) screen that could display 80x24 text characters and any type of graphics, however it suffered from a very slow phosphor refresh that resulted in a "ghosting" video effect. So it could be shared with Apple II computers, a plastic stand was made available to accommodate the larger footprint of the monitor.
The Monitor //, a monochrome CRT for the Apple II

Roughly 4 years later came the introduction of the Apple manufactured Monitor //, which as the name implies, was more suited in look and style for the Apple II line and at the same time added improvements in features and visual quality. In 1984 a miniature 9" screen, called the Monitor IIc, was introduced for the Apple IIc computer to help complement its compact size. This monitor was also the first to use the brand new design style for Apple's products called Snow White, as well as being the first monitor not released in a beige color, but rather a bright, creamy off-white. By early 1985 came the first color CRT's, starting with the Monitor 100, a digital RGB display for the Apple III and Apple IIe (with appropriate card), followed shortly by the 14" ColorMonitor IIe (later renamed to AppleColor Composite Monitor IIe) and ColorMonitor IIc (later renamed to AppleColor Composite Monitor IIc), composite video displays for those respective models. All of the Apple monitors are capable of supporting the maximum Apple II Double Hi-Res standard of 560x192.

Whos an LCD expert? Please READ!!!?

Q. I have a HP W1907.

When i watch a movie full screen its kind of blurry compare to my cousins which is super sharp but its the same type.

Is it because of the dvi cable cause mine is vga. and he doesnt even have a graphics card. Please help I really appreciate it... TQ

PS: should i buy a dvi cable? How much is it?
Actually its the same movie same dvd
Beat my graphics card? R U kidding? Its totally not possible to beat my ATI HD4670 with his... dont know hes not using 1. And our LCD are the same type

A. Your LCD monitor IS digital! Your computer sends out digital signals.
VGA is Analog.
By connecting to your VGA port on your computer, your computer has to convert digital to analog, and then the LCD monitor converts it back.

This slows down the video signal, resulting in 'less than' graphics. Since it sounds like you have a graphics card, (Is it because of the dvi cable cause mine is vga. and he doesnt even have a graphics card),
which should have a DVI port on it, you should DEFINITELY buy a DVI cable.

My Gateway FPD-1950 LCD monitor (19 inch) has a VGA port, and a DVI port. (Bottom side of the monitor)
I suspect yours does also.

Best LCD Monitor for PS3 and Macbook Pro Use?

Q. Hi!
What monitor would be able to run my ps3 at full 1080p (does not need to have speakers) and my macbook pro? I would prefer using an HDMI cable for the ps3 and a dvi cable for the macbook pro. I would need it to be at least 24" and the cheaper, the better.
Thanks!

A. Well, you are going to want a wide-screen monitor. We have been using Dell's LCD monitor family for some time. We've stayed away from their lowest-end models, but have been very pleased with the performance of their mid-stream models. I am on a 24" Dell 2408FWP with a MacBook Pro right now and it works spectacularly with both the native Mac OS as well as running Windows under Parallels.

This particular family has been discontinued, but their replacement line (U2410) is similar in performance and has even more connector types - two DVI inputs, HDMI, DisplayPort, Component and more. Very easy to hook up multiple sources, and if you do want a built-in speaker, the "sound bar" Dell sells attaches to the monitor and is attractive and space-saving (but is NOT what I would call a high-performance speaker system).

Current retail pricing is $599, but they are OFTEN running specials and discounts - and you can always just call Dell directly and ask the sales person to quote you a price that will beat the web price.

Q. Hi how or what cable would I use to hook up my brand new MacBook Pro 2011 Fall MacBook Pro 2.3GHz to the following Monitor? What ever is easiest and has the best resolution. THANKS!

Samsung 27" LED Monitor S27A550H 1920x1080 VGA HDMI
5000000:1 Contrast|Fast 2ms Response

A. I don't know much about macbooks. but if you have an "HDMI" port on your mac, go buy an HDMI to HDMI cable; (They have all different lengths, depending on how far your laptop will be from the monitor, you choose the length.) they can range from 2 to 25 dollars about, depending on who you buy them from and what length they are. I recommend buying them from places like wal-mart or target, and avoiding places like radioshack. (Also, this is the easiest way, and best resolution, ranging all the way to 1080p. while VGA is low def, and you have to screw it in.)

Lowest Power Consumption in a 17" LCD/TFT Monitor?

Q. I'm currently using a 17" LCD LG Flatron monitor and boy am taking a serious hit on my electricity bill.. Please suggest me a low power consumption LCD/TFT monitor and in an affordable range.

A. Normal CCFL-backlit LCD monitors don't use an extraordinary amount of power. Typical 17-inch LCD monitors might consume 40 watts or so.

I doubt your LCD monitor is what's causing your large electrical bill.

Anyway, the most power-efficient monitors are the ones using LED backlighting. You will not find LED monitors to be cheap, however.

Q. i have 3 dell 1702 fps i know there old there from 2002 and lcd and have dvi i game on them with nvidia surround setup on one gtx 660ti should i upgrade because if i do im gonna be going to 3 hp lcd monitors
http://www.microcenter.com/product/395857/SmartBuy_LV1911_185_LED-Backlit_LCD_Monitor

A. The HP's you chose don't seem to be much of an upgrade from what you have, if at all. First off, they only have VGA inputs which do not provide optimum quality for gaming. Second, the bezels are wider than the ones on your Dells. What makes gaming great on multiple monitors is having minimal space between each viewable area.

If I were you, I'd spend a little more on each monitor and get something with LED backlighting and a DVI input. Your can even increase the size of the monitors as well. Amazon has the Acer S201HL for $99. This is a great display with a slimmer build and a narrow bezel. If you're used to using 17" displays, these will be significant upgrades for you. Check it out at the link below.

Lastly, if you're not dead set on multiple monitors, you might consider a single 27" display. Using just one will blow you away and you'll get much better performance from your 660ti. Here's one from that same Acer series.

What would i need a mac mini to have on the back if i want to use my 42" lcd TV as it's monitor?

Q. I'm wanting to purchase a mac mini. What does it need/require to utilize a 42" Hitachi LCD TV as it's monitor?

A. 42-inch LCD HDTVs usually have HDMI ports.

Your Mac Mini will have a miniDVI port on the back. Apple used to include a miniDVI-to-DVI adapter with Mac Minis, but no longer, so now you will have to buy the adapter separately.

You will need a miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and a DVI-to-HDMI cable. I have also heard of third-party miniDVI-to-HDMI cables, and those will work too if you can find one.

I'm using a miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and a DVI-to-HDMI cable to connect my Mac Mini to my 52-inch LCD HDTV, and it works perfectly: http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/armchairaviator/computer/IMG_0880c.jpg

I edit RAW photos from my DSLR camera (7D) on my MacBook Pro. Should I change my color profile to sRGB?

Q. I'm sort of new to the photo editing world. Well, not that new, but new enough that I'm learning so many new things every day. Someone just told me my color profile on my MacBook Pro 13" should be changed from LCD to sRGB to get optimum true color with photo editing (I use Aperture 3). Is that true??? When I'm at work, I notice the photos on my PC look a bit washed out and not as colorful as it does on my MacBook Pro. I always figured it was my PC at work, but now I'm afraid everyone who has seen my photos is seeing it that way (everyone who doesn't have a MacBook Pro).

I searched through Google for an answer, but I'm the answers are far from clear... way too technical. In addition, there are varying opinions whether or not your monitor color profile matters or not. Can anyone answer this? Should I or should I not change my MacBook Pro's monitor color profile from LCD to sRGB?

A. for editing in program , through that editor, would be best with sRGB over default, A-rgb,
keep monitor settings for OS at default,

if editing after raw for tiff /jpeg, look at other modes for rgb/ cymk /lab, not needed for raw,

Plz include model #'s in ur response should u know of a good monitor.

Thanks

A. I recommend the Envision G416. It meets all of your requirements but one, and I believe we can work around that.

The monitor has:
* 1920x1200
* 24" lcd
* 400 cd/m
* 3000:1 contrast ratio
* 5ms response time, which seems plenty fast to me
* $400 at Frys

This monitor has an HDCP/DVI output, not an HDMI. Since there are no speakers on the monitor, I wouldn't worry about bringing over the audio (which HDMI carries, but HDCP/DVI does not). Frankly I would rather have HDCP for a monitor like this, since the future likely is going to bring more encrypted content which will require HDCP to display in full resolution.

If you have a device which outputs HDMI, and you want the high-def video signal sent to this monitor you can attach a DVI-HDMI cable. I've seen these starting at $7.

I'll mention the ACER P234, which I have no firsthand knowledge. It has HDMI and a 2ms response time, and is also in the $400 range. I prefer the Envision monitor.

What is an excellent LCD monitor, probably 23" 1920 x 1080 or so, that has a thin bezel...?

Q. ...for multi-display setups?
I'm looking for a super-reliable monitor that I can get 2 or 3 of that will have a thin bezel for doing a multi-display setup. I'm thinking 23"-24" 1920x1080. I'm looking for good opinions on these, as they will probably be business grade and expensive. I'll consider anything at the right price, but it's very, VERY unlikely I will be getting anything that is glossy black. Glossy black screams poor quality design, high dust and lots of fingerprints.

Dell frequently has some good prices that I'd like to get, and would love to use my 15% off coupon, however, most of the good monitors are on Dell business and the coupon is for Dell home. (home = consumer = lower grade = breaks faster = worse support = higher chance of black gloss finish)

I've spent hours trying to find the perfect match to my needs, but nothing really fits. I'm hoping you all can find something I've missed. :)

A. LG W2353V - LCD display - TFT - 23" - widescreen - 1920 x 1080 - 300 cd/m2 - 1000:1 - 50000:1 (dynamic) - 2 ms - HDMI, DVI-D, VGA

Tv 120hz vs 240hz which would be better?

Q. Ok so I'm looking for a new tv and I really don't know about the whole hz and fps.
My friend recompense me to get one with 240Hz. Will that picture look good?
He has one that is 240hz and when I saw it it looked like I was actually there in the tv show. Idk if the Hz caused that but does it make it look like realistic?
-And do you think the Vizio tvs are good?

A. - Top brands: Panasonic (Plasma) and Samsung (LED). (Plasma > LED > LCD). (LCD is going to be discontinued. A LCD tv uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps/CCFL backlights. A LED tv is a LCD tv, but with white or red, green, blue LEDs on the edge of the screen or a full array on the back of the screen).
= Plasma has best picture and audio quality (best response times, best viewing angle, best color quality, less/no motion blur for crisp/clear images because how it's refresh rate works). Newer Plasmas have improved their burn issues by using pixel shifting/scrolling. LCD/LED is best for bright rooms and have most light coming off the screen (Plasmas are not great for bright rooms because of screen glare and faded whites, but do great for dim or dark rooms). Newer Plasmas use less energy consumption and they are cheap to buy. LED are more popular because the manufacturers want to sell you their LED expensive tvs rather than their cheap Plasmas.

- I recommend 1920x1080p for movies, computer monitor/display, some tv shows, and some game console games and I recommend 1280x720p for some tv shows and some game console games. I recommend 40+ inches for movies and/or tv shows and 20-30 inches for computer monitor and 30-40+ inches for game console games.
- FPS (frames per second): Every video consists of a number of frames per second, think of a video as a fast moving flip book. NTSC countries use 60i or 30i FPS (newer stations use 30p or 60p FPS) for tv shows. PAL/SECAM countries use 50i or 25i FPS (newer stations use 25p or 50p FPS) for tv shows. Movies use 24p/25p/29p/30p FPS (first movie to use 48p was LOTR: The Hobbit). Games use anywhere to 2 to 120 FPS (older games use lower FPS while newer games use higher FPS, usually they are up to 60 FPS today).
- TV refresh rate (measured in hz): Example, A tv with a refresh rate of 120 hz means it refreshes/flashes the entire screen 120 times a second.

- How do LED or LCD tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video? (I recommend real/true 240hz refresh rate, some tv advertising may fool you by listing the fake interpolation or fake backlight scanning/dimming refresh rates).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation (Names of the new technologies for newer tv's at the link): Motion Interpolation or Motion Compensated Frame Interpolation (MCFI), is a form of video processing in which new fake frames are generated between existing ones to up the FPS of a video to reduce motion blur and/or for judder removal/judder adjustment. MCFI video processing may cause gamer input lag and/or artifacts such as the soap opera effect (may ruin the look of a video).
- Many tv's allow viewers to turn motion interpolation (MCFI) off. The tv repeats the frames a certain number of times to match the tv's refresh rate. Example; To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
- But what happens if the FPS of a video does not match the refresh rate of the tv? Then you get a pulldown, a pulldown is what causes a jittery screen (aka judder) because the tv repeats the odd frames a different amount of times the tv repeats the even frames. Example; A 3:2 pulldown is post popular because it is needed to match a 24 fps video with a 60hz refresh rate tv, odd frames are repeated 3 times (12x3=36) and even frames are repated 2 times (12x2=24) and 36+24=60 FPS for a 60hz refresh rate tv.

How does Plasma tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video?
- It will take each pixel in a frame and and repeat it a number of times based on the number of sub-field drives (SFD) the tv has with it's refresh rate. Example 1; (NTSC countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 60hz FPS x 10 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate. Example 2; (PAL/SECAM countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 50hz FPS x 12 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate.
- What is focused-field drive (FFD) on Neo-Plasmas? (Light switching speed = better colors and less motion blur) 2500hz focused field drive means sub-fields are virtually packed into 1/2500th of a second as a sharp impluse, creating crisp motion images even in very very fast movining images (FFD is defined as a inverse of light emission period t. 1/t = 1/0.4ms = 2,500 FFD). Regular sub-feild drives like 50 FPS x 12 sub-fields = 600 hz, light emission spreads as wide as 1 field time (1/60th sec) maximum which results in blurry images for very very fast moving images.
- Refresh rates on Plasmas work similar to LED/LCD tv's. These settings are usually automatic, but you can change them in the advanced picture settings, Example 1; 2D 24p FPS mode and choose refresh rates of 48hz/96hz or 30hz/60hz with pulldown (might use interpolation frames for pulldowns), Example 2; 3D mode and choose refresh rates of 96hz for 24 FPS or 100hz for 50 FPS or 120hz for 60 or 24 fps.ect Of course it has gamer mode or many other adjustments.

Some of the information may be outdated/wrong, but still some useful information.

- http://reviews.cnet.com/3dtv-buying-guide/
- http://reviews.cnet.com/best-high-definition-tvs/ (has models and reviews + more).

- Off brands use crappy/cheap and breakble electronics. For gamers I recommend the tv has at least duo/quad processores and gamer mode (gamer mode turns off stuff that requires processing/cpu power like upscaling/downscalling resolutions and/or interpolation/reapting frames for refresh rates.ect). TV's do have a input lag specification.

Any way to make 120hz Monitor on Laptop?

Q. I bought the 120hz Monitor for 3D Gaming,
But i have a problem to connect the Monitor to Laptop.
i have alianware that i bought years ago so i dont have system problem(window vista).
Only Connect my laptop has HDMI and VGA Connection.
I can put on 60hz to make it working.
If i put on higher than 60hz, it doesn't work at all.
I try many different way to make it work but...
there is any way to make it work?

A. Probably because the laptop graphics chip does not support its 120Hz from the laptop, Use a higher end PC if you want to use the monitor at 120Hz. It's not needed anyhow. most LCD's run games perfectly at 60-70 Hz.

Best monitor for photo editing?

Q. I'm a photographer and looking to purchase a new monitor for photo editing to plug into my laptop. What do you recommend?

A. Due in part to Adobe, and their Photoshop software, digital photography has grown with tremendous celerity over the past decade. Computer monitor technology for editing and viewing photos is constantly advancing. CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors are the relic of the industry, while LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors make up the bulk of products used world-wide today. There are four main types of LCD panels, though IPS (in-plane switching) monitors are likely used in most photography schools.

Twisted Nematic

These products are typically cheaper to make, and are widely used by most manufacturers. TN monitors represent 6-bits of color, which is among the lowest color accuracy of LCD products. The angles of view are limited; the picture clarity diminishes when looking from side or top angles. The refresh rate of TN LCD monitors, which refers to the number of frames drawn of a given image per second, is under six miliseconds, fast enough to warrant popularity in the tech fields, gaming more than photography.

Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment

MVA monitors are a mid-range product that offer 8-bit color range, and brightness of a higher grade than TN models. MVA technology tilts the crystals in the display at different positions, creating viewing angles that are wider than TN, though not as wide as those found in IPS models. The refresh rate of a MVA product is fast and similar to that of a TN model. MVA panels are versatile and fast, suitable for photography, or animation and programming.

Patterned Vertical Alignment

PVA technology is in the same class of MVA, offering wide viewing angles and

8-bit color reproduction. The contrast ratio in PVA monitors is higher than that of TN or MVA products. Some manufacturers offer Super Patterned Vertical Alignment Technology (S-PVA), with upgraded 10-bit and 16-bit color displays. This level of color reproduction ability makes an S-PVA monitor more suitable for photography and design.

In-Plane Switching

IPS monitors are of the more expensive, professional class of photography monitors. The range of colors represented in IPS products is greater and fuller due to a true 8-bit color display. Some models are limited by slower refresh rates. The angles of view in IPS monitors are unparalleled by any other LCD panel in their wideness, making them the standard for photography and graphic design. Apple is one company that uses IPS technology in their high-performance machines.

Do they make computers/ digi cams without lcd monitors anymore?

Q. I HATE lcd monitors, they are so easy to break, at least for me, Im pretty clumsy, I broke 2 laptop screens and 1 digital camera lcd screen. And to fix the screen is so expensive you're better off buying a new cam/compie. Dont they make regular screens anymore? Is this a way to squeeze money out of the consumer??

A. The CRT-type monitors are alive and well for computers. Digicams and laptops require the LCD's for portability.

Desktop computers are often marketed with the LCD screens because most people like the smaller size (compared to CRT). But you can custom order one with a CRT.

In fact, CRT's are the preferred device for graphic arts and photography professionals because the color rendition is more true.

Good Luck

which LCD monitor should i get for my xbox 360?

Q. hey everyone. I have a dilima, i have been using a stupid bulky CRT computer monitor for my 360 for nearly a year... I have been looking at lcd tv's and LCD monitors. The 22-24inch 16:9 monitors are a lot cheaper than any of the "tv's" i've found and far better quality displays and simply blow my crt out of the water in screen area and appearance. So my quesiton is which monitor should i get for under $160 perferably at a chain store that i wouldn't have to order and wait for it to ship to my house, I know the price is low, but it's just a monitor, no tuner or composite inputs (but if it had those it was be great) thanks it's for my 360 over VGA cable.

A. For under $160, you might have to go down a notch in the size range. Bigger screen than your CRT, probably, but better picture quality, I don't know about that.

This is about what you'll get for $160: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+20%22+Widescreen+Flat-Panel+LCD+HD+Monitor/9162684.p?id=1218040222132&skuId=9162684

LCD versus LED computer monitors. Please give the pros and cons. Thanks!?

Q.

A. Before we discuss these different technologies, let's clear up the terminology.

LCD stands for liquid-crystal display. LEDs are light-emitting diodes, while OLEDs are organic light-emitting diodes.

LCDs and OLEDs are types of display. Technically, LEDs are not displays. LEDs are lights which are used in some displays as a backlight.

Traditional LCDs are backlit by CCFLs, cold cathode fluorescent lamps. These backlights are relatively bulky compared to LEDs.

CCFLs have other drawbacks, too. For example, they contain mercury, which is toxic. They also provide a limited spectrum of color.

So, some manufacturers are producing LED-backlit displays. You'll see these types of LCDs in some monitors and laptops. Some LCD televisions also use LED backlights. (Incidentally, some DLP TVs use LEDs, as do projectors.)

LED backlights certainly have their pluses. You'll get a brighter picture with a broader color spectrum. This is ideal for photographers and artists.

LEDs also use less power than CCFLs. That makes them particularly attractive in laptops. LED backlights are also thinner. And they don't contain mercury.

However, this is a next-generation technology. You're right; it's pricey. Until more people adopt it, prices will remain high

OLEDs are quite exotic for now. OLED displays contain a layer of organic material. A charge is applied to the material, resulting in a picture. There is no backlight; the material itself gives off light.

OLEDs have many advantages over other technologies. You'll get a bright, vibrant picture. The contrast ratio is phenomenal compared to LCDs. They also have a razor-thin form and consume minimal electricity.

There are drawbacks to OLEDs, of course. Their lifespan is limited in comparison to LCDs. However, a new technology could double OLEDs' lifespan. It would surpass that of LCDs.

Also, OLEDs are expensive. Sony is currently the only company selling an OLED display. The XEL-1 is a 3mm-thin, 11-inch television. It's a mere $2,500!


The future looks pretty good for OLEDs, though. They can be printed on surfaces. Since they're printed, they can be manufactured cheaply. I wonder how much of the XEL-1's price goes to research and development.

OLEDs are probably out of the question for you. However, an LED-backlight might be for you. That just depends on your needs�and your budget. Expect to pay about $1,000 more for an LED-backlit monitor.

LCD and LED monitors?

Q. I currently have an LCD monitor for my computer and I am getting a second monitor and it is LED. Will there be much difference and will they work well side by side. They both have DVI input.
Thanks for the answers, much appreciated. I will be getting the LED monitor.

A. A LED monitor is just an LCD monitor that uses a LED backlight instead of a fluorescent one. This helps alleviate the problem of poor color fidelity that LCD's suffer from, but does little to help poor black levels, response time, and viewing angles.

Hope it helps ! :-)

software or a new monitor for photo-editing?

Q. I have a very limited budget. I'm using a computer I built myself a few years back and the pc specs are fine but I'm toying with two options and wondering what you think. Right now I'm using photoshop cs2 to edit photos but I'm really in need of something to help with organizing as I'm getting more serious about my photography. The monitor I am currently using is the Dell M782P CRT and I can afford to either get a decent sized LCD monitor or buy Adobe Lightroom 3 and the pantone huey pro so I can calibrate my crt. Which option would you say would be the most prudent and why?

A. The calibration tool is the best way to go for now.

I still use a CRT for my critical colour correction. There are very, very few LCD monitors that can be used to adjust contrast, brightness and colour. Those that can cost upwards of $2500 and more. Those LCD monitors are designated to AdobeRGB standards. Some less costly ones have a sRGB setting, but are still not recommended as monitors for producing "contract" proof quality images.

Lightroom 3 is an amazing product for shooters.

There is one thing you may want to budget for in the next few months. That is the Xrite Colorchecker Passport ($99).

Here is how that works when using it to custom white balance all of your shoots.

What are some of the better LCD computer monitors for editing and viewing digital photos?

Q. That is if you could get whatever you wanted within a somewhat reasonable price! Thanks!

(As in something under $1,500)

A. See http://www.popphoto.com/cameraaccessories/3831/which-monitor-should-i-buy.html for some ideas.

They mention the 21" Gateway FPD2185W for $450 and the 23" Apple Cinema HD for $1,000, but state that neither one can display the full gamut of Adobe RGB. For that, their pick is (sorry) the $2,000 Samsung SyncMaster XL20 LED BLU.

The conclusion: "If you can afford it, the Samsung SyncMaster XL20 LED BLU monitor has the widest color gamut, best viewing angle, longest lifespan, and highest calibration stability of any LCD monitor we've seen for $2,000 or less."
