| Monitor Type | PC Monitor | |
| Screen type | Flat-panel (TFT) | The most common types of screen today are picture tubes. However, flat screens are becoming increasingly popular. The advantage of a flat screen is that it takes less room on the desk, transmits less radiation and is energy-saving. |
| Screen size | 19.0 Inch | The size of the screen indicates the picture surface area. Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner. |
| Widescreen | Yes | |
| Touch Screen | No | |
| Resolution | ||
| Dot pitch | This is the distance between two dots of the same colour. This is generally measured diagonally, but for aperture grille monitors it is sometimes measured horizontally. | |
| Maximum resolution | 1440x900 pixels | Indicates the maximum resolution the screen can display. The resolution is stated in pixels. |
| Frequency at max. resolution | 75 Hz | The number of times an image is displayed in one second is called the refresh rate. It is expressed in Hertz (Hz), so a monitor with a refresh rate of 75 Hz "rewrites" the same image 75 times a second ... More info |

| Contrast | 500:1 | Contrast is measured as the ratio between the light intensity of the brightest and the darkest point of an image. High contrast values improve readability and ergonomics. |
| Brightness | 300 nit (cd/m2) | Brightness is the emitted luminous power over a specified area. Brightness is another point, on which LCD monitors are superior to CRT devices. Traditional monitors create approximately 80 to 100 cd/m² (candela per meter square). For LCDs, values below 200 cm/m² are not acceptable. |
| Horizontal viewing angle | 160 degrees | The viewing angle is the angle from the centre of the image where you can still see the image. Ergonomic requirements are at least 120 degrees horizontally. |
| Vertical viewing angle | 160 degrees | The viewing angle is the angle from the centre of the image where you can still see the image. Ergonomic requirements are at least 90 degrees vertically. |
| Connections | ||
| DVI/VGA Input | DVI/VGA | DVI is a digital connection type for digitally transferring pictures. VGA refers to an older analogue connection and is today (2007) the lowest common base for most, if not all, graphic cards. |
| Number of Inputs | Dual | |
| Video connections | D-sub,DVI-D | The standard analogue connector is called D-sub (HD-15). There are also different digital connectors, DVI-I and DVI-D. DVI–I can be used for both analogue and digital signals, while DVI-D is digital only with a higher data transfer rate. |
| USB hub | No | With an USB-hub in your monitor you can easily plug in new devices such as scanners and memory card readers without having to crawl under your desk to reach the USB-connections on your computer. |
| Appearence | ||
| Color | Silver | A white or grey monitor will be less straining to your eyes than a black one. This is also the reason why black monitors only bear the TCO ’95 marking even though their white cousins are awarded TCO ’99. |
| Features | ||
| Built-in Speakers | No | Generally the speakers inbuilt in monitors are very basic with only a couple of watts per channel, so they’re not something you’d want to listen to high quality CDs or DVDs on, but could prove handy i ... More info |
