How CRT and LCD monitors work
Ever wondered how the monitor that sits on your desk actually works? This is a really good guide with pictures to illustrate how the picture is formed. The article also has the disassembly of a LCD monitor to show what it's made up of inside and a look at future display technology. Some pretty cool stuff!
----------------------
We all spend an awful lot of time sat in front of computers. Whether we're gaming or working, we are at the mercy of what many would argue is the most important element of any system - the monitor.
A well-defined monitor can make using a system a pleasure. Likewise, being forced to squint at a 15" CRT at 60Hz can make us weep in pain and long for a nice LCD to while away our hours at. A good display makes all the difference.
Monitors are widely used and rarely understood. Sure, you know that the difference between LCD and CRT is that one is flat and one is massive and heavy. But do you really understand the technology that goes into these things?
In this article, we're going to investigate how CRTs and LCDs work, and also examine some of the issues pertaining to monitors, such as Refresh Rate and Vsync as well as looking into our crystal ball to see the future of displays.
