How To Purchase A Desktop Monitor

By Matthew Kerridge

There are lots of great computer monitors on the market today. How will you be able to decide which one will best fit your needs? By using these tips to help formulate an informed decision, you can order the best monitor for your needs without spending more than you can afford or compromising on quality. There are good quality monitors to choose from in every price bracket, and with just a little research, you will be able to pick the perfect one for your computer.

There are quite a few different quality levels, styles, sizes, and other features that you can choose when purchasing your new monitor. Each monitor comes with different features so be sure to outline the qualities you are most interested in purchasing. However, the more high-tech you would like your monitor to be, the more you can expect to have to pay.

The first characteristic in screens to consider is the display you are interested in the most. Oftentimes, manufacturers will produce HD monitors, LED's, LCD monitors, and more. Make sure you determine ahead of time which type is most attractive to you.

An LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor is one of the most prevalent monitors, and is always a good choice. LED (light-emitting diode) monitors, on the other hand, are becoming more and more common as well. And while there's not a big difference between the two, you still want to make sure you get the one you want. HD monitors are just as they sound - high definition. This means you'll get better picture for any application you're running or video you're viewing.

Another important deciding factor when purchasing monitors is the price. There's no reason you need to pay more than a couple hundred dollars for a quality screen. For less than the price of $200, you could get a quality LCD monitor in widescreen that will last for years.

More premium monitors will cost you upwards of $300, and can be bigger and take up more real estate on a desk. Make sure you factor the space and real need into your budget as you consider a new screen because you could end up deciding on a screen that you can't really fit into a small cubicle or office space.

Be sure to keep these in mind when shopping for a new monitor. Consider that simply because you maintain a modest budget for new screens doesn't mean you won't be able to get a superb value and excellent viewing experience for the money! - 29854
