| 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 | 17.0 Inch | The size of the screen indicates the picture surface area. Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner. |
| Widescreen | Yes | |
| Technology | Active Matrix | |
| 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 | 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 |
|
| Bandwidth | ||
| Horizontal frequency | 30-82 kHz | The speed that a monitor draws a single scan line, called the "horizontal frequency," is measured in kilohertz (kHz). The process repeats, painting line after line, until the screen is filled. |
| Vertical frequency | 50-75 Hz | The speed that a monitor draws an entire screen, called the "vertical refresh rate" or "frequency," is measured in hertz (Hz). |
| TFT specifications | ||
| Pixel response time (rise+fall) | 8 total, ms | Pixel response time is as important when choosing a LCD monitor what refresh rate is for CRTs. The response time is the time, which a TFT cell requires to switch on and switch off. For standard office ... 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 | 250 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 | 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 | Single | |
| Video connections | D-sub | 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. |
| Appearence | ||
| Color | Black | 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 |
| Power consumption | 25 Watt | |
