Computer monitors

I’m thinking to buy a new one soon, one that will be easy on the eyes. Flat-screen most likely. Any suggestions on what to look for and what to avoid? Thanks.

What is the difference? confused

LOL Pir ji :smiley: making her confused

munni, flat screen are normal CRT monitors (TV like thingi’s) but have a completely flat screen.. hence the name..
And flat panel are those TFT or LCD screens..

example of both:

Now, I think you are looking for a flat panel one. So I’d suggest to go for one made from IIYAMA or Sony. Those are one of the best :k:

OR, you can save a buck and get a Dell Trinitron instead of a Sony!

Right, flat panel. smile

^Flat Panel? I personally wouldn't - but if you say so go ahead.

Look out for dead pixels by making the sales representative open a white page - pure white. If you see any black dots on the screen, the pixels are dead and check another monitor of same make and model as dead pixels appear by luck.

I recommend a Samsung SyncMaster.

Yes they save energy and space, but so what? Flat panels have a shorter lifespan, have terrible output, and are quite expensive. Only buy a flat panel if you're short on desk space and a tree hugger.

Hmm, I talk to trees, does that count? smile

Please explain "terrible output". Thanks.

^ put a flat screen crt next to a flat panel, and you'll see the CRT has a better quality screen.

VIEW SONIC IS THE BEST

IT'S THE ONLY WHICH HAS NO RADIATION OTHER SAYS LOW RADIATION. :)
