Although the LG is better than Acer but LG need more repair. Think carefully I recommened Samsung monitor, they r pretty good.

Q:I am soon going to buy a new 21.5 inch LCD computer monitor from Newegg. i read on the reviews that it can be used as an HDTV also if you have speakers and a receiver. I was thinking about doing this, where can I get a receiver and speakers?

If that LCD monitor can be used as an HDTV, the best way would be with a digital HD cable box. Digital HD cable boxes usually have either HDMI or DVI outputs, and can be connected directly to an HDCP-compliant monitor, and you can watch all the cable channels including the HD ones such as Discovery HD, CNN HD, HBO HD, etc. if you signed up for those pay channels. You can also use an ATSC tuner box, which is designed to receive over-the-air broadcast HD from your local stations (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, WB, PBS), but that's all you can watch. A digital HD cable box is the way to go IMHO. So call your local cable TV service provider if you don't have a digital HD cable box. Hope this helps.

Q:I have a sceptre komodo LCD 19 inch. The power light comes on but there is no display. Anyone knows whats wrong with it? Any clue on why nothing will show? It powers on but no picture.Thanks in advance!

Can you hear your hard drive spin. does your monitor light flicker when you turn off your computer and then flicker and turn solid when you turn your computer on. If it does turn solid then cpu is running and monitor is recieving data. Next check video cable between computer and monitor.Next check their connections. Now lay case on its side open panel. Before touching anything unplug all power cables from outlet. See if video card is seated if it is remove card and replace with a pci video card. You should get something on the screen Replace video card.

Q:I am thinking of getting a LCD flat screen monitor for my computer. Is there any certain kind for any computer? Are they pretty much universel? Are there any certain new adapters I would need? Feel free to im me with any suggestions or current hardware.

They're all universal. But if the the one you buy has DVI, make sure your computer has a graphics card with DVI

Q:If you still have an older type of monitor, then you need screensavers to avoid the image burning into the screen.If you have a newer LCD monitor, then no image burning is possible, so screensavers are not required. Am I correct on these points, or do I have faulty info?Thanks!

That is correct. I have a spankin' brand new monitor, and I don't have a screensaver.

Q:1. what are good LCD monitor companies. 2. TFT v.s TN displays.

Q:I have a 19 Viewsonic VX1945WM LCD Monitor, can i use this if i pick a Playstation 3 or 2? The monitor does not have any video sockets but has USB ports. also it has a dock for IPOD. Any converter for playstation cable to USB could help and i wanna know if it is available. Thanks ppl, in advance.

vga cord do u have is it hd ready buy a hd tv

Q:i just bought a acer lcd monitor.But i want to know the hours lifespan of the acer lcd monitor.and will the monitor last longer if i leave it on and let it automatically turn off or if i turn it off manually

It will last longer if it is set up to turn off or go into power save mode after the computer has been idle for a while as opposed to being on 24/7. Most LCD panels have a MTBF of well over 10 years of continuous use. The part that goes bad over time is the backlighting, which dims over time and can be down to 1/2 brightness after 30-50,000 hours on newer monitors. This means that at 8 hours per day of usage it will be noticeably dimmer in 10 years, however you can compensate by increasing the brightness setting when this eventually happens. My LCDs from 2003 are running just fine after 5 years of 12 hours+ per day and I bet they can take another 5.

Q:(yes i google it, and it wasn't very helpful)so can i plug my converter box directly to my monitor, via a vga to rca (white red yellow cables)converter.

NO! unless you have a tv tuner on your computers video card.monitors do not have a tv tuner. and it's more expensive to make one! just buy a cheap lcd tv. but any lcd tv with have the hook ups for want your trying to do.

Q:Why LCD diagonally when the color will change?Does this show that the monitor is good or bad?Some liquid crystal display at an angle to see when the color is not in this is why?

This is formed by the characteristics and structure of LCD tv. Because when the incident light of the back light passes through the polarizer, the liquid crystal and the so-called alignment film, the output light has a specific directional characteristic, that is, most of the light emitted from the screen has a vertical direction. The outermost layer of liquid crystal itself does not emit light. The light we see is backlit by the backlight located behind the LCD panel. The light from the backlight lights through the switch of the LCD panel so that we can see the image. Because there is a certain distance between the backlight and the LCD panel. So if you're not facing the television, you'll see images that have changed color.
