If you are looking for a new display device to replace your current model, you have probably seen the abbreviation LCD thrown around on various websites. But the question remains, what does LCD stand for? This article will discuss what an LCD is, compares LCD vs. LED Gaming Monitor, and provide essential information about the LCD you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hopefully, you will come away from reading this article with a much better understanding of the pros and cons of an LCD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get in touch!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n LCD is short for liquid crystal display<\/a>, a thin, flat display device, and the direct replacement for the CRT display<\/a> that has fallen out of circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An LCD monitor has a layer of liquid crystals<\/a> locked between two sheets of polarized glass. Interestingly, an LCD monitor does not produce light itself. Instead, the electric current aligns the crystals within the sealed liquid layer. This action either allows or blocks light, depending on which color is meant to be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n In total, there are three-panel types of LCD monitors. Each type has its pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Twisted Nematic Panels <\/strong><\/a>(TN):<\/strong> TN panels tend to be found in budget monitors. They offer a 1ms response time, which is ideal for fast-paced gaming. However, it provides fewer viewing angles while producing poor color contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Vertical Alignment Panels (VA):<\/strong> VA panels offer slightly better color accuracy and viewing angles than TN monitors, but their response times are not as quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. In-Plane Switching Panels (IPS):<\/strong> IPS is the best LCD monitor for color accuracy and wide-viewing angles. IPS monitors are preferred by designers and other professions where color accuracy is essential but not as popular with gamers, as the response times are between four to eight ms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LCD Monitors<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n LED monitors<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n LED<\/a> monitors utilize light-emitting diodes<\/a> to brighten the monitor. In simple terms, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are tiny bulbs. How the LEDs are arranged behind the monitor varies for each model. Some feature full-array LED backlighting or LED edge lighting. While some of the best monitors use mini-LEDs, to offer even more precise light control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monitors that use full-array lighting contain evenly distributed diodes at the back of the monitor to provide even lighting across the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monitors that use edge lighting only contain LEDs around the edge of the monitor and spread light through a sheet of plastic to distribute it evenly. It is cheaper for manufacturers and much more common in budget monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LED Monitors<\/em><\/p>\n\n\nWhat is LCD?<\/h2>\n\n\n
