Can A New Monitor Make A Difference? You Bet It Can!
I've upgraded computers over the years but have kept the same 18" NEC MultiSync LCD monitor. I thought about upgrading but never did it.
My daughter Angela who uses the computer from time to time thought it was time for an upgrade so for Christmas she bought me a 23" HP LED monitor. It was easy to install and the difference is unbelievable. It easier to read and looking at pictures and videos is a whole new experience. I can increase the size (Control +) and see and read much easier and not lose content on the edges of the screen. No more squinting at the screen.
A little bit about monitors:
LED and LCD monitors are based on the same basic technology for image display, but differ in the kind of backlighting used. While LCD monitors use cold cathode fluorescent lamps for backlighting, LED monitors use light emitting diodes. This is the prime difference between the two display technologies. So LED monitors are in actuality, a type of LCD monitors, or an improvement over them.
LCD displays have to rely on external lighting, as their display is created through manipulation of light, passing through polarized liquid crystals. The backlighting affects picture quality substantially and light shed by LEDs offers superior picture quality, compared to LCDs.
LED monitors are also a lot softer on the eyes than LCD monitors which make them popular choices for people who work for long hours (I certainly do) on their desktop computers. Their power consumption is as much as 40% less than conventional LCD monitors. They are also a lot more eco-friendly, because mercury is not used in their production. LEDs last longer than cold cathode fluorescent lamps, with little reduction in their power output over time, which makes these monitors long-lasting.
Here's a short video showing some differences between LCDs and LEDs.
So, don't be like me and squint at an old monitor, upgrade, you'll be glad you did!
