Monitor Information
The text you are currently reading is on some kind of computer display. The computer display associated with a desktop computer is often called a Monitor which is very similar to your home television. Display devices transform unreadable information into analog or digital human friendly formats. The monitor you choose is a critical purchase because you spend all of your computing time interacting with your display. Before purchasing a new monitor it is good to know what specific computing tasks will be required.

Considerations for purchasing a new computer monitor:

• How many megabytes of VRAM (Video Read-Only Memory) in your video card
  
• How many hours a day do you use your computer
  
• Do you use your computer for intensive graphics work
  
• Is your computer a business tool
  
• Do you wear corrective glasses or contact lenses

Size and Resolution
When looking at what size monitor to purchase you really have to understand how you use your computer. If you use your computer for countless hours on end it is better to purchase a larger monitor or LCD screen to place less strain on your eyes. Another consideration is if the computer system is used to manipulate graphics files or intensive desktop publishing. These business applications are graphics intensive, often requiring many tool pallates to be open on your screen . If you only use your computer a few hours a day for recreational purposes, you may not need a large expensive monitor.

The listed size of a monitor is not the size of the usable dimensions. This is a representation of the monitor display area. Most 15 inch CRT Monitors only have approximately 14 inches of viewable image, while 17 inch monitors have 16 diagonal inches of viewable resolution. All monitor screen dimensions are measured diagonally. LCD monitors are easier on the eyes and cause less fatigue. If computing is a large part of your job you it is wise to purchase an LCD monitor 17 inches or higher.

Monitor Resolution

The next feature that you should take into consideration is the resolutions that the monitor is capable of displaying. There's no point in purchasing a gigantic monitor when it is only capable of displaying 800x600 pixels. Remember the higher the resolution your monitor can support the more desktop space will be available on your computer. High quality images demand a professional monitor that can display extremely high resolutions. Some monitors are capable of displaying resolutions as high as 2400x1600. Conversely, a small monitor that can display a very high resolution will display information too small to be usable so this added resolution is useless.

Standard display resolutions:

• 14 inch: 800x600
• 15 inch: 1024x768
• 17 inch: 1280x1024
• 19 inch: 1600x1200
• 21 inch: 1900x1440

You also have to make certain your video card can support the resolutions of your prospective monitor and can provide the required color depth. Outdated video cards can cause severe performance degradation and loss of image quality.
