What type of monitor will best suit my needs?

If you are primarily interested in basic word processing and Internet browsing, then it's probably a straightforward decision for you based on your price point and how much desk space you have available for your display. Cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors require a great deal of calibrating screen geometry in order to display shapes and objects accurately. Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) do not have this problem and will be ready to display out of the box.

If you are interested in graphics and video editing, such factors as accurate color representation and visibility will play an important role. High-quality CRTs generally have better color representation than LCDs and are viewable at any angle. Because of the display technology, LCDs have limited viewability, usually around 120 to 170 degrees horizontally. Monitors also can come in several different aspect ratios, such as 16:9 widescreen displays, making it ideal for DVD and movie viewing. If you would like to watch TV with your monitor, some displays even have a built-in TV tuner.

Game players should look for a display that can keep up with the massive graphics requirements that come with the latest games. A monitor with a fast response time will keep images sharp throughout the entire game.

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) use thin layers of glass with a liquid-crystal material. A display is made by exciting this material with an electric current. LCDs boast a thinner, smaller footprint than CRTs, but usually cost more than CRTs with similar screen sizes. LCDs also are capable of displaying a digital signal for a crisper picture and more accurate colors. To take full advantage of this, you will need a graphics card that supports a DVI cable connection.
