Disadvantages of Flat Panel Monitors

Even as LCD or flat panel monitors may cause a stir as the latest display technology in the market, they still have disadvantages that may turn off potential buyers. Listed below are few disadvantages of flat panel monitors:

Lack of Native resolution: LCD may have an attractive display but larger the screen resolution then the native resolution, this may cause a motion blur resulting to unbalanced and darker images. LCD monitors can only show information well at the specific resolution they were designed for.

Dead Pixels: At times, Flat monitors also display dead pixels when the electrical current to one or more pixels does not operate properly, or if one or more cells are permanently aligned.

Pixel Response time: When compared with cathode ray tubes displays, LCD monitors generally do not have the required response rates in terms of pixel response times. In videos and fast-paced video games, LCDs suffer from the ghosting effect.

Viewing angles: LCDs have flat panel monitor screen which eventually causes the image to look dimmer or even die out completely.

Screen care and fragility. LCD monitors may be slim and attractive but they are also more prone to damage and screen breakage.

Durability: Many of us prefer keeping our LCD monitor on even when not using them. Flat panel monitor have less durability if kept on for long time slowly losing their brightness and eventually will need to be replaced in two years.

To sum up LCD monitors may have its drawbacks but to most of its plus points Flat panels will continue to replace CRTs as they become less expensive as the many benefits are realized by users. However, CRTs won’t disappear as easily as many circumstances need the performance that LCDs currently can’t provide.

Industrial LCD Monitors

The LCD technology has almost completely replaced the older cathode ray tube (CRT) technology used for industrial monitors for many years. An industrial LCD monitor consists of five layers: a backlight, a sheet of polarized glass, a "mask" of colored pixels, a layer of liquid crystal solution responsive to a wired grid of x, y coordinates, and a second polarized sheet of glass. Let us understand how the LCD technology actually works. It begins with manipulating the course of crystals by precise electrical charges of varying degrees and voltages. The crystals further act like tiny shutters, opening or closing in response to the stimulus, thus allowing degrees of light that have passed through specific colored pixels to illuminate the screen, finally creating an image.

The most important feature of the LCD technology is that with a few clicks you have a brighter, clearer, and sharper image. Known for its wide screen and light weight, now technology has advanced and you will be amazed to find 50 inch display. As LCDs have a long and durable life of about two decades allowing a person to use it daily for 8 to 10 hours.

Industrial LCD monitors have some of the distinct features that are more useful as compared to the CRT monitors. Originally, projected for laptops, Industrial LCD monitors are now widely used in digital clocks, microwave ovens, CD players and other electronic devices. LCD monitors are also used to in hospitals, restaurants, banks, ATMs, and gaming.

As a result, industrial LCD monitors are slowly and steadily replacing the conventional computer systems using the CRT technology.
