Choosing the Right Flat Panel Monitor for You
For anyone that still has the massive computer display that takes up half your desk, this is a fine time to contemplate choosing a flat panel display. They not only take up very little room on your desk, but also represent style and fashion that gives your office or room a modern look.
Since the flat screen display came on the market, not only has it gone down severely in price but also the variety of flat screen monitors has increased. There is now a model and price range to suit almost everyones budget. When choosing a flat panel monitor, there are some things you should consider.
Prices on flat panel monitors vary by size and manufacturer so shop throughout and compare the prices to get a great screen at reasonable cost. Prices vary but on average, the fifteen inch to nineteen-inch displays average price span is $200 – $700.
If your screen does not refresh or redraw itself at a great enough frequency, flickering occurs. When picking a flat panel screen, select one with a refreshing or redraw rate of at least 70 Hz or higher. This way you are not bothered with flickering.
Remember when choosing a flat panel display that the dot pitch on a display should be small as the picture is sharper. The biggest dot pitch you should go is .28 so you have a clear, sharp picture.
The two most common resolutions used on a flat panel display are 800×600 and 1024×768. If you try a higher resolution, it fits more on the screen but is harder on you eyes. Some people work around this by modifying the internet browser font size.
Choosing a flat panel screen means choosing one that has a great contrast ratio. This measures the difference between the darkest black and brightest white. The most common contrast ratio is 300:1
By following these guidelines, opting for a flat panel screen will be less perplexing and you will end up with a screen perfect for you.

Rush onto my web page for good and useful content on plasma televisions insider data before it’s too late!
What is the difference between a Plasma and a LCD flat panel TV?
I am looking at buying between a 40 to 50 inch wide screen flat panel television and would like to know the following differences between plasma and LCD:
-cost
-performance (longevity, clarity, gaming hook ups)
-track records (proven to last)
-weight (will it be able to hang on the wall with out major damage)
-best brands for plasma and LCD
-stores with the best deals
-do you recommend getting the extended warranty
-do you recommend getting the set up (I think it is a rip but want to know how easy each of them are to set up and hang on the wall)
-best for gaming.
I will be using this TV for gaming and watching sports and am looking for something that will show the details. I also would like something that would last longer since I will be spending a lot of money on it. Thanks in advance for all the help.
LCD TVs use an LCD panel to create the picture. It's the same LCD screen technology you find on laptop computers and digital cameras. Plasma TVs use gas suspended within glass panels and stimulated by an electrical field to create the picture.
Each technology has its advantages. Plasmas tend to have a better picture than LCD TVs, while LCD TVs promise better long-term reliability and freedom from screen burn-in worries.
LCD is available in small sizes such as 15 inches and go up from there, while plasma sets start over 30 inches in size. LCD tends to be more expensive than plasma TVs of the same size.
If I was buying one for myself, I would lean plasma because of the better picture quality -- the new Panasonics are especially good. In LCD sets Sony, Sharp and Toshiba are all very good, as is Samsung.
Bargain shoppers should check out the LCD sets from Westinghouse -- they have excellent pictures and are a great value at the asking price.
An HDTV standard has been in place in the United States for years. The new digital television specifications have many different available resolutions, not all of them HDTV.
To be considered HDTV broadcasts must be either 720p (720 progressively scanned lines) or 1080i (1080 interlaced lines).
