Visual display is always been a demanding technology and everyone desires good crystal sharp display and want to replace their CRT screens with new LCD TV or Monitor. The biggest challenge today for a new buyer is selecting the best model out of huge range of gadgets. So here are some tips from personal experience to help you decide and purchase the best LCD screen according to your demands.
1. Screen Size
Before buying any LCD the first thing you need to decide is the size of the screen. Most of the users prefer fancy large size LCDs but the size of the LCD should be decided on the space available, because there should be a distance between the viewing area and the screen so that it won’t produce eye strains. If large LCD is viewed from the shorter distance, some tiny pixels granules will be seen and image will seem dithered. If you are spending money for sharper display than this thing will disappoint you, so size and space matters!
2. Resolution
Resolution defines how fine and sharp the picture quality is , better the resolution sharper will be the picture quality. Average LCD screens offer a minimum pixel resolution of 1280×720. Some large screen LCD TV or monitor have as high pixel resolution upto 1920×1080 , accompanied by obviously a high price tag. Like popular LG Scarlet range which comes in 42 inches to 47 inch range has 1920 x 1,080 pixel resolution while the 32 inch and 37 inch models offer 1366 x 768 pixel resolution.
3. Contrast Ratio
Contrast ratio is another important point to be kept in mind before buying any LCD. Actually it defines the light and dark portion of the display screen. If LCD screen has a low contrast ratio, dark images will look grey and light images looks washed or blurred. An average contrast ratio to have in a LCD is 10000:1 for a 32-inch screen.
New range of Toshiba LCD TVs offer Higher Dynamic Contrast ratio (maximum 30000:1 in 37-inch LCD). Latest Samsung LCD TV has a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 50000:1 in 46-inch.
4. Response Time
Response time shows how fast your monitor responses to the fast moving objects. If you are a gamer then this is critical because for an example, if there is a super fast speeding car on the screen, a low response timed screen will create a blurred output.
So, before you buy, check the specifications for Motion Response Time (usually measured in milliseconds). On an average, an LCD TV/Monitor should have a Response Time of either 6 ms, 8ms or 12ms.
Beside the tips above, budget constraint would be the only aspect that might force you compromise on quality product. But whatever you use withing your budget, these points will definitely help you decide to buy the best LCD screen for you
