When considering an LCD monitor for a computer of most any type or kind, it's helpful to remember where we were just a few short years ago when it came to the kinds of monitor we had to use for most computers; the CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor. It was big, bulky and could weigh a lot. Today, however, slim liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors come in many sizes and at very nice prices.
That's because these newer monitors, most of which came into common and widespread usage in 2006 (though very expensive models were in use over a decade ago), have made computer ownership much easier. At least, they've made owning and MOVING a computer and its peripherals around much easier, at the least. Plus, they're now capable of high-definition display and a whole host of other features.
LCD technology has made these new monitors much better in terms of quality, weight, energy consumption... You name it; and also much more attractive than old-style CRT monitors which were, to be honest, based off of'30s and 40s television technology, at heart. When you also consider that they had to be connected to the CPU via means of a serial port, and it all added up to a lot of inconvenience.
Generally speaking, there's no practical limit to the size an LCD unit can come in, though they're commonly seen in 17 to 22 inches, most often. For a fact, a new computer that doesn't feature at least 17 inches of display (or, more likely,' inches) from an LCD model is extremely rare. In fact, 22 inches in a TFT-LCD (the proper name is thin film transistor, LCD) unit is becoming common.
As was already pointed out, the typical LCD monitor is very light in weight and bulk. It's extremely easy to move around, also. Imagine trying to pick up and then move a 22 inch CRT monitor or even a "lighter weight"' or 17-inch model. Back muscles begin to ache just thinking about it. Add in, also, that an LCD unit takes just seconds to disconnect and reconnect via a USB 2. 0 port.
Additionally, liquid crystal display monitors are very energy efficient and consume very little power, plus they're extremely durable. Most ecologically-aware folks will say that the benefits to LCD in just these two points can make owning one much more attractive than lugging around an old CRT monitor. And that durability is practically legendary; many LCDs have been hit with ball bats and have kept on working.
Today, the LCD monitor is the recognized standard-setter for personal computers of all classes and size. Prices have fallen dramatically since they came into widespread use several years ago and they can be had in relatively large sizes, such as' and 22-inch models. They're durable, don't waste a lot of energy and their displays are more than acceptable. It's hard to see a real downside to them, as a matter of fact. - 31403
