LCD Monitors

LCD or liquid crystal display has revolutionized the visual component of technology in many products/electronics such as televisions, appliances, digital signage, clocks, and most especially LCD monitors for computers. From once expensive technology, it has improved drastically. It is thinner, lighter, and consumes less power than the traditional cathode ray tube screens or CRTs. Also, with crisper, sharper, and clearer resolution, LCD monitors have become a standard in visual aid for computers. Due to these advantages, LCD monitors’ popularity gradually increased over time, from the consumers to institutions and the government and all the way to enterprises and businesses.

LCD works by utilizing two polarized sheets with a liquid crystal in between. When an electric current is shot at it, the liquid crystal reacts like a shutter—blocking or letting light pass by, hence creating the shapes, forms and even images on the display.

LCD technology has been here for some time now. Austrian botanist Freidrich Reinitzer first observed that a chemical called cholesteryl benzoate melts into a cloudy liquid and eventually clears as the temperature increases. As it cools, it turns blue and materializes. Several decades later, RCA developed the technology that would pave the way in using liquid crystal displays in appliances and other electronics. Through time, LCD technology evolved and became more accessible to the public.

Because of its shape, size, quality of output, and being economical, a lot of companies have been converting their CRT monitors into LCD computer monitors. With this in mind, PC Mall has a wide range of quality LCD monitors that fits your needs.
