WHEN BUYING
LCD MONITOR

TECHNOLOGY
The following tips will help 
you  decide which LCD 
computer  monitor is 
right for you
SCREEN 
SIZE
The diagonal measurement is from 
the  lower-left corner to the upper-
right corner  in inches. The screen 
size ranges from 15″  to 30″. Most 
desktop monitors are  between 19″ 
and 22″ in today’s market,  although 
larger sizes are not uncommon.
ASPECT 
RATIO
According to the aspect ratio, the 
number  of horizontal pixels in a 
display is higher  than that of vertical 
pixels. Typical CRT  monitors had an 
aspect ratio of 4:3 and  were almost 
square. Today, you can find  
widescreen monitors with aspect  
ratios  like movie theater screens 
(16:9 or 16:10).  16:9 is sometimes 
referred to as HD (high  definition).
RESOLUTIO
N
An image’s resolution refers to how 
many  pixels are displayed 
horizontally and  vertically. Currently, 
LCD flatscreens only  have one native 
resolution because of the  nature of 
LCD technology. Thus, their  native 
resolution describes the absolute  
number of pixels present horizontally 
and  vertically.
CONTRAST 
RATIO
In LCD computer monitors, the 
contrast ratio measures how much 
variation between the brightest 
whites and the darkest blacks. As the 
contrast ratio increases, the whites 
and blacks become whiter and 
blacker, and the gray values in 
between. 1,000: 1 is the best 
contrast ratio you can achieve.
BRIGHTNES
S
Several backlights illuminate an LCD 
monitor. Candelas per square meter 
(cd/m2) measure brightness. To 
watch movies and play games on 
your computer, you need at least 300 
cd/m2, i.e., a higher intelligence. 
Generally, there is no need to exceed 
250 cd/m2 for office work or 
browsing.
