Q:I want to find a 24-30 LCD monitor that will work well with consoles like the Xbox 360 as well as play computer games at high resolutions of ~1900/1600. Is it true that I should just go with an LCD Monitor that has a DVI input as well as component connections? Am I supposed to look for a specific type of display to accomidate both computer games and console games? Also, I really am not concerned with Watching DVDs.

Look for a HD LCD with 720P or 1080P resolutions and also look for features such as DVI and HDMI imputs for your High Definition if you want the ability to watch TV get one with a built in TV tuner. The DVI imput will give you the ability to watch the best picture from your computer so this is a must in your case!!!

Q:I was recently gifted a 19 LCD monitor that I now have set up next to my old 19 CRT. When displaying dark colors, there is a noticeable glow coming from the screen that is not a problem with the CRT. This is especially visible when using the blank screen saver (the CRT appears to be off while the LCD is still filling the room with light). Is there any way I can reduce the glowing?

change the settings, the buttons on the monitor, open up the menu, change the brightness contrast and backlight to you liking.

Q:I am reading all over the internet and am getting two answers on this question. I bought a new LCD monitor with DVI and HDMI inputs. My new video card has both DVI and HDMI outputs. Which will give me the best performance on this monitor? Now the easy answer everyone says is HDMI is better. Sure, for a TV. I am reading that some say DVI is best for a computer and LCD monitor connection.Uggg

I would go with HDMI. Not only will it display the full resolution that your new monitor can handle, it will give you audio too on the same cable. HDMI cables are less expensive, as they've gotten much more commonplace since LCD TV's took over from CRT screens. If you don't have a spare one laying around, you can pick one up for maybe five bucks or less. I have a 32 LCD TV hooked up to my computer with HDMI as a second display, and it looks awesome.

Q:What does ITO mean in an LCD LCD?

A transparent conductive material.

Q:I have a Mac Powerbook G4 and I want to get a Dell LCD monitor (model E207WFP). If I want to run dual screen (meaning using the internal screen and lcd as one bog screen) do I need an adapter or is it just plug and play? I called Dell but the customer service rep didn't know what I was talking about but that's not a big surprise!

That monitor has both VGA and DVI. You powerbook has a DVI output. As long as the monitor comes with the DVI cable, you just plug and play. If the monitor comes with a VGA cable, the powerbook when bought came with a DVI to VGA adapter. You should not need anything.

Q:I was wondering if somebody could tell me the price range of lcd monitors in Fiji Islands.

It depends on the size, brand, and season in which they are selling LCD monitors. I bought mine- HP LCD monitor 24cm x 24cm (width by height)( for $400 (fijian dollars). There are few shops which sells good monitors: BondWell @ Moti street suva Daltron @ downtown boulevard street in suva city

Q:I have a 22 1920x1080 lcd monitor on my computer. Well the other day I went over my friends house and he had a old CTX 17 crt monitor, and it was the clearest thing I ever seen. Perfect black levels, very crisp text, and the colors were much richer. Why does his crt have a better picture than my 22 1080p full hd monitor?

It really depends on your LCD monitor, there are cheaper models with less mature technology, whereas CRTs have been around a long time and hence it's cheap to produce good models, and they don't (afaik) make them anymore. Try look at high-end IPS monitors, which do have much better colour reproduction, viewing angles and then the price :P. People moved to LCD, not because of image quality, but for energy-efficiency and how light it is.

Q:I would like to use my LCD computer monitor by itself to watch a DVD played from a DVD player. With this work or does the Monitor have to have a tuner like a TV set.

If the DVD player has a VGA output you can, if not you will need to buy a component to VGA adapter
