Choosing an LCD Monitor For Your Computer
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dave_Page]Dave Page
LCD monitors are a hugely popular option for computer owners. The bright displays and crisp colors are just unrivaled for viewing files and multimedia content. What most people have a problem with is actually choosing the most appropriate LCD monitor for their computer needs. This choice is so complicated because there are so many different things to consider - such as size, price range, and features. There are practically an unlimited number combinations and models and with so many choices, buyers often feel overwhelmed.
One of the first things that you will notice about LCD monitors when you are trying to choose one is how the monitor looks. Of course, you want to choose an LCD monitor that is attractive, but this is definitely not the most important aspect to consider in making your choice.
Thinking about how you will be using your LCD monitor will help make your choice a bit simpler. If you are going t be using your new LCD monitor extensively in your home for surfing the Internet and basic computing, then you do not need the most expensive, cutting edge technology. A lower cost LCD monitor will suffice in most cases. A 17-inch or 19-inch screen LCD is what you will be looking for. The LCD should offer a bright, sharp image; text should be clear and crisp; and the monitor should not strain your eyes.
LCD monitors are a popular choice with artists and photographers. If you are going to be using your LCD monitor for digital art and graphics editing, then you will need to select a higher end LCD monitor for your workstation. For this type of work, it is best to select an LCD monitor with high resolution (minimum of 1280x1084). You should also purchase the largest monitor you can afford - this will give you detailed views of whatever art you are working with are allow for more creativity.
If you will be using your LCD monitor for entertainment purposes in addition to normal work, you may want to consider selecting a widescreen LCD monitor. These monitors will allow you to view your movies and shows just as they would appear on the big screen. Another consideration in choosing your monitor is high definition. A high definition LCD monitor will afford you basically the same viewing experience as a high definition television.
If your new LCD monitor will be used for business purposes, the type of business will determine which LCD monitor you choose. For example, an executive of a Fortune 500 company may only require a basic LCD monitor while someone in advertising design or web design would need an LCD monitor more suitable for artists.
Before making you final selection, be sure to check out a wide selection of LCD monitors. Do your research and read several reviews on the models that you are interested in. It helps to actually check out LCDs in the store first, even if you are planning on purchasing your monitor online. Following these basic tips will help ensure that you make the best possible choice when purchasing your new LCD monitor.

How To Repair Dim Display In BenQ FP71G+ LCD Monitor
How To Repair Dim Display In BenQ FP71G+ LCD Monitor
by Jestine Yong
Normally for this BenQ FP71G+ LCD Monitor with the model of Q7T4 the major complaint was display appears for a while and then shutdown (cut off) but for this unit the complaint was dim display! That means you don’t have the chance to see the bright BenQ logo the moment power is “Onâ€. If you look at the screen closely you could actually see the picture except that the display is very dark. If you could see the display, this means that the Main board, power board and the LCD Panel are working!
There could be two reasons, it is either the backlights have problem or the inverter board is faulty. Since most of the LCD Monitors in the market have top and bottom backlights, chances for both the top and the bottom backlights failed at the same time is very slim. Due to this description, I have eliminated backlights as the cause of the problem. So my concentration will be in the inverter board. Now this assumption came across my mind even before the LCD Monitor cover was removed! It is good to assume and expect which circuit that causes the problem as this will motivate you even more if the assumption is correct. Many suggestions came out from your mind and you have to decide for the best. If the assumption is wrong, then you have to ask yourself is there anyway you can improve it. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself if the assumption is way off from what you have expected, as learning from our own mistakes is the best guide for us!
The moment the metal casing was removed, I could clearly see a burnt mark surrounding a transistor located at the inverter board area. My assumption was right about the inverter circuit fault and upon close inspection; the slightly dark transistor has the part number of FQU11P06. It is a P-channel FET transistor and it can be replaced with part number FU9024N. The area now has darkened and if you directly install a new transistor in it, I believe the darkened area could cause intermittent problem or total destruction again to the new transistor! Why? It is because the darkened area has become carbonized and current can flow to other circuits causing the transistor to go shorted again. In order to eliminate this problem, one has to scrap off the darkened area and due to the board is so fragile; the only way you can do is to make one hole in the area. Clean the area with thinner and install the new transistor and it should not have problem after that.
Another thing that arises in my mind was is it the transistor itself has problem that goes shorted and burnt the board or other components failure that caused the transistor to go shorted? I began to check the surrounding components that have relation with the burnt transistor and found the tuning capacitor ESR value have increased, one of the push pull transistor (C5707) shorted and the Pico fuse open circuit! Upon close inspection of the capacitor, I could see bulged at one side of the capacitor. The value of this bad plastic film polyester type capacitor is .22 uf 160 Volts. If you test this capacitor with a digital capacitance meter, it would show about .2 uf which you may think is acceptable. If you didn’t replace this capacitor, the newly installed transistor (FQU11P06) would surely burn again. For your information, any non polarity capacitors that have the value of or higher than .1uf (104), besides test it with digital capacitance and analogue meter, I will also use ESR meter to check the ESR value of the capacitors too. In the above case, the bad cap has 47 ESR Ohm and the good one has 7.2 ESR Ohm!
Do you know that, if you owned either the dick smith or the Blue ESR meter by bob parker, besides testing the electrolytic capacitor, you can also use it to test on the non polarity capacitor too? But the non polarity capacitor value must me around .1uf or higher. The ESR meter can’t test any value which is lower than that. If you do not have any ESR meter, I guess this is the time now to invest one to speed up your repair. With the help of ESR meter, I have solved lots of intermittent problem caused by capacitors. Some intermittent capacitor problem can’t be revealed with the help from applying freezer and heat but surprisingly it can be discovered faulty by using ESR meter- this really amazed me! If you want to buy the Blue ESR meter, you can click on the link here Blue ESR meter.
Next, checking around all the circuit, I found another electrolytic capacitor have problem too. The faulty capacitor is located at the secondary output side and act as a filter to remove ripple along the output line. A good 1000 uf e-cap should have ESR less than .1 Ohm but the faulty one read 4.9 ESR Ohm! A new replacement of the Pico fuse, C5707 transistor, FQU11P06 FET, 1000uf 16Volts e-cap and .22uf 250V metallised polyester capacitor brought the LCD Monitor back to life again.

LCD Monitor Vs CRT Monitor
LCD Monitor Vs CRT Monitor
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Henery_Cruz]Henery Cruz
The demand of LCD (Liquid crystal display) monitors is rapidly growing in the market. With the advancement of technology LCD are quite familiar to computer users and we can see most of them are using LCD. It would be a challenge for LCD manufacturing companies to fulfill the growing demand of LCD in the market.
Some comparison between LCD monitor and CRT monitor is given below
1. LCD panels are only an inch thick without including the stand. These consume less power and don't radiate a lot of heat when used, unlike CRT monitor.
2. Their digital display is sharper and produce good quality picture as compare to CRT monitor.
3. An LCD monitor is slim and comes in a very compact configuration. They can be fit easily into any less vacant part of the room or any where. They are very suitable for small offices or homes
4. But its difficult for everyone to afford LCD display because LCD display screens or monitors are quite expensive as compare to CRT
5. LCD screens or displays are very sensitive and should be handling with care. They are not suitable for minor used.
6. As far as moving images or 3D images are concern, LCD screen are blurry and unclear. Hence, someone prefers CRT over LCD screens. Graphic designers also prefer the CRT over the LCD. Not only that, the color gradations are not clear in the LCD panel, and it causes problems in differentiating between darker shades, creating practical problems for graphic designers.

It also includes three 2.0 USB ports and a full range of adjustments of the physical settings. It is easy to use and offers a great picture.
Third on the top 5 19” LCD monitors on the market is the ViewSonic VP930b. With a good resolution, again, at 1280 by 1024, the ViewSonic offers smooth and easy to use physical adjustments that allow you to comfortable with the monitor. The monitor even has a very nice stable stand that keeps it in place and makes the physical adjustments easier.
The fourth on the list ist he NEC MultiSync 90GX2. The resolution on this one is, like with most of these, 1280 by 102. The adjustment is limited to tilt and swivel, but in most cases the height is actually pretty good. The screen is a glossy design that makes text easy to read and contrast prime. Scrolling through screen menus is easy so that picture adjustment is simple and quick for anyone.
Finally, in the top 5 19” LCD monitors on the market is the Hyundai ImageQuest Q90U. Limited in adjustment to just tilt, the resolution is the same as all the rest at 1280 by 1024. There are two easy to use and reach USB 2.0 ports on this model. Three is a low response time to the monitor, but it does not really cause any problems in general use. Overall, it is still a strong monitor that you can get for about 40% less than the other models on the list.

Price, function, and a number of other factors can influence which monitors are in the top 5, but this list will at least give you a starting point.
The first of the top 5 19” LCD monitors on the market is the LG Electronics Flatron L1950B. With a resolution of 1280 by 1024 and several available adjustments, this is a great monitor for anyway. It has an easy to use height adjustment feature to keep it at eye level as you work. Also, this very slim and flat monitor gives a great looking image that is easy on the eyes and helps prevent fatigue.
The second LCD flat screen monitor to make its way into the top five is the Dell UltraSharp 1905FP. This monitor comes in with a resolution of 1280 by 1024 with a number of available adjustments to that you can have it just how you like it. It also includes three 2.0 USB ports and a full range of adjustments of the physical settings. It is easy to use and offers a great picture.
Third on the top 5 19” LCD monitors on the market is the ViewSonic VP930b. With a good resolution, again, at 1280 by 1024, the ViewSonic offers smooth and easy to use physical adjustments that allow you to comfortable with the monitor. The monitor even has a very nice stable stand that keeps it in place and makes the physical adjustments easier.
The fourth on the list ist he NEC MultiSync 90GX2. The resolution on this one is, like with most of these, 1280 by 102. The adjustment is limited to tilt and swivel, but in most cases the height is actually pretty good. The screen is a glossy design that makes text easy to read and contrast prime. Scrolling through screen menus is easy so that picture adjustment is simple and quick for anyone.
Finally, in the top 5 19” LCD monitors on the market is the Hyundai ImageQuest Q90U. Limited in adjustment to just tilt, the resolution is the same as all the rest at 1280 by 1024. There are two easy to use and reach USB 2.0 ports on this model. Three is a low response time to the monitor, but it does not really cause any problems in general use. Overall, it is still a strong monitor that you can get for about 40% less than the other models on the list.
Overall, looking at the top 5 19” LCD monitors on the market can help you decide what will work best for you. In your home office, at work, or for fun these monitors are going to be easier on your eyes and better for space management.

Low Cost High Definition TVs - Providing Superior Performance
Low Cost High Definition TVs - Providing Superior Performance
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Wendy_Pan]Wendy Pan
There are many cheap hd tvs on the market today but this is one of those rare cases when one is dealing with electronics when cheap is not synonymous with low quality. Well-known manufacturers like Viewsonic, Magnavox, Memorex, Sanyo, Philips, Toshiba, Zenith, Sharp, etc. all make inexpensive, high quality HD Tvs. With a little shopping around a HDTV can be purchased for anywhere from $300 to $1000, with the average price being around $500. Unless you are a real video purist that requires the highest of sound and video quality, one of these relatively cheap HD Tvs is all you will ever need to enjoy a true HD experience. The Viewsonic 26 is a prime example of an inexpensive, high quality HD TV that will make you feel that you are a part of the movie you are viewing.
Cheap hd tvs like the Viewsonic 26 with a 26" color LCD screen with a 22.7 inches width by a 12.7 inches height perfectly matches the 16:9 aspect ratio used by HD transmission. With an average life of 50,000 viewing hours, the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will last approximately 14 years if you watch 10 hours of TV every day. With its two built in 10-watt speakers and Dolby sound, the sound quality matches that of HDTVs costing over twice that amount.
Resolution, brightness, and contrast are the key to picture quality. With a resolution of 1360 X 768 lines combined with a dynamic contrast range of 800:1, and a brightness of 500 cd/m2 (1 candela / (2 meters) = 0.5 cd / m), the picture appears lifelike. TAs an added feature, he Viewsonic 26 LCD is equipped with an antiglare, antireflective coating so the picture is crystal clear no matter what the viewing angle.
Cheap hd tvs like the Viewsonic 26 is more than a tv, it is also a HD monitor.
With the Viewsonic 26's seven different inputs
S-Video
RGB
HDMI
RCA
YPbPr
YCbCr
Input Terminal Video: RCA
With the choice of composite, S-Video, RGB, YPbPr, and YCbCr inputs, the Viewsonic can be used to display the video output from almost any source. The Viewsonic will faithfully reproduce video and sound signals from your VCR, DVD player, TIVO, Digital camcorder, etc.
The Viewsonic 26 can also be used as a HD computer monitor as well as the centerpiece for a home theater.
With its HDMI input the Viewsonic can be used as a HD display monitor for a multimedia computer. Actually, the Viewsonic 26 can be used as HD monitor for any computer with the necessary video adapter board and driver software.
With such high quality yet inexpensive HD TVs on the market today there is no reason to suffer the shortcomings of your old analog TV. With analog transmission soon to end, why buy a converter box or upgrade to a simple digital TV when you can experience High Definition Digital TV for only a few dollars more. Once you experience HD, there will be no going back.

A 17" LCD Monitor Brings Computer Images To Life
A 17" LCD Monitor Brings Computer Images To Life
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michelle_Bery]Michelle Bery
If you have not purchased a new computer monitor recently then you might not realize how far technology has come. While everyone knows that the memory speed and capacity of personal computers has continued to grow by leaps and bounds each year, there are many people who still continue to use computers monitors that utilize outdated and archaic technology. If you want to see everything your computer can do in brilliant colors and sharp resolution, then a 17” LCD monitor is the first place you should look.
LCD – or liquid crystal display – provides a quality display for your computer that is unrivaled. A 17” LCD monitor – a size that will fit nicely in nearly any computer hutch – has a striking resolution that can not be had in other kinds of computer monitors. With very small pixels that create the picture, the screen produces images that are clear and lacking in the grainy quality that other monitors produce. Adding to the appeal of a 17” LCD monitor is its energy use. In a world where we are increasingly cognizant of our electricity consumption it makes sense to utilize technology that uses very little electricity, such as LCD technology.
A 17” LCD monitor does more than produce a good looking picture; it looks good while doing it as well. Gone are the days where a computer monitor was as deep as it was wide; like a small television set on your desk. The big, bulky monitors of the past are history and in their place are the slim, flat profiles that you can find in a 17” LCD monitor.
The technological advances that can be found in a 17” LCD monitor do not begin and end with its brilliant picture quality and slim design. In fact, one can purchase a 17” LCD monitor that has touch screen technology that will allow you to navigate your computer using just your fingertip, or with the touch of a stylus.
Not every 17” LCD monitor is created equally, so be sure to investigate the specifications of a monitor before you purchase. Different models vary in things like their resolution, contrast ratio, brightness, and viewing angle to specify a few. Depending on their features the prices can range greatly, from under $200 to $1000 or more. You will also find that most 17” LCD monitors are both MAC and PC compatible.

Industrial LCD Displays and Their Use
Industrial LCD Displays and Their Use
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Don_Rev]Don Rev
LCD actually simply means liquid crystal display. An industrial LCD display monitor is usually used with an industrial computer, but it can also just be used to display video images from just about any video source that currently exist, and is the most common and diverse electronic flat screen technology in use now. The LCD technology has now almost completely replaced the older cathode ray tube technology that we all know and which was used for industrial monitors for many many years. It is interesting to highlight that LCD monitors tend to use only one third to a half of the electricity used by a cathode ray tube monitor, can take up to around 90% less space and are easier on the eyes. So in the end, no wonder why it has replaced the cathode ray tube monitor.
An industrial LCD display monitor uses very similar technology to a LCD screen anyone would buy. The LCD screens were first used on laptops only before the technology improved to be able to make LCD screens available for PCs as well.
Industrial LCD monitors also serves the exact same purpose as LCD monitors for PCs and laptops, which is simply to display the video image that is generated by the computer. However, an industrial LCD monitor differs from the technology on of the one you would have only in that it is much more ruggedly packaged. It is simply mounted in a steel or aluminum frame that allows it to be mounted in an equipment rack.
TFT LCDs which mean thin film transistor LCD, are a variant of normal LCDs and usually give an image that would be of better quality than normal LCD monitors. Those TFT LCDs are usually used in Televisions, flat panel displays or projectors
A feature that is frequently added to an industrial LCD monitor, but is unlikely to be on your desktop monitor, is a touch sensitive screen. This allows the user to interact with the computer program by simply touching the screen, and in some cases completely eliminates the need for a keyboard or even a mouse as an input device.
Industrial LCD monitors are now used everywhere without most people even knowing it. The best example would be with video arcade games. They usually use industrial LCD monitors. Industrial LCD monitors in video arcade games are perhaps the only example were you would really be in front of an industrial LCD monitor.

How to Buy a LCD Monitor
How to Buy a LCD Monitor
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Vaibhav_B]Vaibhav B
I had been salivating for about an year, desperately wanting a LCD monitor for my computer but the prices were crazy so I decided to wait a while. A couple of months ago while I was in Dubai I decided to buy a LCD monitor because the prices had dropped by then. I went in search of a 17’’ monitor but ended up buying a 19’’ screen. This was because, for the money I spent in Dubai for 19’’, I was getting 17’’ in India. And as we all know...size DOES matter....at least in monitors!
I did some research before I bought this monitor which I would be delighted to share.
So why did I want a LCD in the first place? The advantages are many - easier to move around/clean as they are thinner, lighter and take up much less space, less eye fatigue, more energy efficient than a CRT (less power consumption) and of course LCD screens look good.
The first thing I thought about was the price obviously. I didn’t want a very expensive model but I wasn’t going to buy a ’’no-name’’ brand either. Then came the size - I was using a 17’’ Samsung monitor so I7’’ was good for me. During my browsing, I saw how beautiful things look on a 19’’ screen and after comparing the price with India, I went in for a bigger screen. The next thing on my list was the response time. I wanted a fast response time (8-12 ms) so that when I played games, the image didn’t ’’ghost’’ (motion blur). My Benq screen has a response time of 8 ms and I have not seen any blurring at all. I was also careful of the ’’dead pixel’’ policy of the maker. You see, LCD screens are notorious for dead pixels - even one dead pixel in the middle of your screen can ruin your LCD experience. Before you buy your LCD, get the salesperson to display a full white image on screen first followed by a full black image (easily done in Microsoft Paint) so you can weed out dead pixels. Check the dead pixel policy of the company. If you do find dead pixels in the warranty period, will they replace your monitor? Do try to test your LCD monitor before buying it - make sure that the salesperson gives you the same monitor and not a new untested one.
A couple of things to remember about a LCD screen - it has a field of vision restriction which means that you have to sit directly in front of them to get a good view. The better the product, the larger will be the field of vision and there will not be a darkening of the screen from a ’’not in front’’ position. All LCD monitors have, what is known as, a ’’native resolution’’ which essentially means that they give their best performance at that resolution. For example, my 19’’ monitor has a native resolution of 1280 x 1024 (SXGA). Any other resolution looks washed out and blurry. Choose your resolution depending on the size of the screen you buy. For me the best resolutions are as follows: 15’’ - 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768; 17’’ - 1024 x 768; 19’’ - 1280 x 1024. Physically try out various resolutions before you buy the screen - maybe the salesperson won’t have a clue about the native resolution.
Game enthusiasts and DTP people will still prefer the CRT screen as they can buy bigger screens for the money they spend on LCD screens. In addition, the colours are brighter and there is no motion blur on CRT screens (provided you have a good video card). If you have space limitations or work extensively with ’’words’’ - word processing, Internet browsing etc, go in for a LCD monitor, provided of course you can afford it. Some LCD monitors come with speakers which makes them perfect for offices. But serious music lovers and game enthusiasts will hate the tinny sound.
I am very happy with my Benq FP91G screen and would recommend it without hesitation. Other companies like Acer/Samsung/Viewsonic make LCD screens which are equally good but prices differ. So sniff around a little before you splurge.
I am a Merchant Navy officer living in Mumbai. When I am not sailing the high seas, I enjoy surfing the net, playing computer games, swimming, listening to music and reading books.

Benq LCD Monitors Model FP731 Problems Is No Power
Benq LCD Monitors Model FP731 Problems Is No Power
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jestine_Yong]Jestine Yong
The BenQ LCD Monitor model FP731 problem is no power symptom. If you have read my previous articles, you would know that I would not immediate use all my testing gear to check the whole power and inverter board instead I would use my eyes to scan all the components first before starting to use my digital multimeter to check on the fuse and other components first.
I saw about 8 filter capacitors that had bulged and leaked on top of its capacitor casing. We have the first clue and if my assumption is right, only the capacitors that caused no power symptoms. However in order to be in the safe side we have to check other components as well.
Looking at the power primary side didn’t reveal any burnt or cracked components in the board. It is not good enough just by looking at the board, we must check few of the critical components first in order to confirm that it is safe to switch on the power after the replacement of the 8 faulty capacitors. The critical components that I referred to was the fuse, power or chopper fet (mosfet), switch mode power supply primary winding and secondary diodes. If you have the experienced, you can check all of the components on board without removing it but of course the smps primary winding you have to use a flyback tester to test it.
After all the critical components tested okay, I would presume that after the replacement of the defective capacitors, I could immediately switch on the LCD Monitor without connecting a light bulb first. There is no necessary to connect the light bulb because the power side components were tested okay besides the fuse didn’t blow in the first place.
For your information, most of the capacitors used in the LCD power supply were from the 105 degree Celsius in order to last longer and stand the heat produce by the power supply itself. If you replace with an 85 Celsius capacitor, it would not last long and may come back with capacitor problems again.
The Benq FP731 LCD Monitor problems was restored to normal operation after the 8 filter capacitors was replaced. Capacitors breakdown was very common in the LCD Monitor because of it compact design where the heat have difficulty to transfer out due to the power supply board was covered by an aluminum shielding. Sometimes after few hours of operation, you could feel the extreme heat at the aluminum shielding and surrounding area. This is a good news to us as an electronic repairer because more and more LCD Monitor send in for repair because of capacitors faults only.

The critical components that I referred to was the fuse, power or chopper fet (mosfet), switch mode power supply primary winding and secondary diodes. If you have the experienced, you can check all of the components on board without removing it but of course the smps primary winding you have to use a flyback tester to test it.
After all the critical components tested okay, I would presume that after the replacement of the defective capacitors, I could immediately switch on the LCD Monitor without connecting a light bulb first. There is no necessary to connect the light bulb because the power side components were tested okay besides the fuse didn’t blow in the first place.
For your information, most of the capacitors used in the LCD power supply were from the 105 degree Celsius in order to last longer and stand the heat produce by the power supply itself. If you replace with an 85 Celsius capacitor, it would not last long and may come back with capacitor problems again.
The Benq FP731 LCD Monitor problems was restored to normal operation after the 8 filter capacitors was replaced. Capacitors breakdown was very common in the LCD Monitor because of it compact design where the heat have difficulty to transfer out due to the power supply board was covered by an aluminum shielding. Sometimes after few hours of operation, you could feel the extreme heat at the aluminum shielding and surrounding area. This is a good news to us as an electronic repairer because more and more LCD Monitor send in for repair because of capacitors faults only.
