Lately businesses are buying large format (>32 inch) LCDs for video conferencing, boardrooms, receptions, and for a number of applications such as retail showroom advertising and surveillance. A key question being asked is whether they should buy an LCD monitor (also called LCD information display panel) or an LCD TV. Some people think that an LCD TV is an LCD monitor plus a TV tuner and they are surprised to find that an LCD monitor may cost more than an LCD TV. For them, it just doesn’t make sense.

Here’s what is an LCD monitor and what it is not:

A better image for LCD monitor: An LCD monitor produces higher quality images and has high brightness and contrast levels as well.  An LCD TV is likely not going to offer the same resolution as an LCD monitor! This is could be very important when viewing data.

A longer-life more rugged-dust proof system: An LCD monitor is a closed end device with no fans and moving parts. An LCD TV usually has a fan, is not a closed box and may have moving parts. Most LCD monitors can be operated on a 24/7 basis however LCD TVs can not and the numbers of hours that an LCD TV can be operated should be checked. Typically LCD monitor has a life of 50,000 hours or more.

An LCD monitor can be operated 24/7: An LCD TV cannot and built for max 6-8 hour continuous operation.

Are you looking to connect displays together for advertising effect? An LCD Monitor can be easily connected together to create a video wall. The bezel can be removed and the gap between the monitors can be minimal and there are connection outlets in the monitor so that an image can be displayed across monitors to seem as one large image. This cannot be done in an LCD TV. LCD Monitors can be connected in a mirror image format so that the same image appears in all the monitors at the same time.

Lower energy consumption: The energy consumed by LCD monitor is very less and since the electro-magnetic radiations emitted are also less, it is also less hazardous to health.

Monitors can be networked: An LCD

Monitor can be connected to the network and remotely controlled and monitored. As a business anyone would want to know which monitors are working and which are not from one central location so that a technician can be dispatched to take care of faulty monitors and this can easily be done incase of an LCD monitor. Further networked LCD monitors allow for remote content management and scheduling as well which is an added advantage for big businesses.

Should you buy an LCD monitor vs. LCD TV? Consider the different variables and make the knowledgeable choice.

A television is as important to most people as their significant other. Especially now that television sets are becoming so technologically advanced. A television back in the earlier days was simply a wooden box with a black and white picture. Today we have television images that look as real as if you were watching the movie, event or TV show live. With the new LCD technology, the picture quality of a television set now makes watching a football game look as if the football is coming right into your living room. There are a number of well known name brand companies that manufacture LCD televisions that claim theirs is the very best of all. All of which have a price tag that would make your paternal grandmother fall into her coffin prematurely. What if you want a LCD television and but do not want to pay the large price tag? There are such things as discount brand LCD TVs that can be found with a little research.

As I mentioned before, there are numerous companies who sell LCD TVs. A major way for them to compete is by price breaks and special sales. If you look online for a discount LCD TV, you might get lucky and see one on sale from a major brand trying to unload some of their stock. If not however, there are some new brands on the market that are not as well known as some of the older more well known brands but have the same or possibly even better quality. If you shop around it is highly possible that you may see a wide range of discount LCD TVs for sale at a wide range of prices lower than you expected. You do not have to pay high end prices for a LCD TV to get the high quality LCD TV you want. Truth is that a discount LCD TV can be just as good as the name brand. Some of the not so well known brands are actually manufactured by the same company that produces the high end name brands. So it is up to you if you want to spend a lot of money on a well known name brand or if you are willing to look outside the box of name brands and check out the not-so-well known discount brands to save quite a few dollars and enjoy the benefits of a high quality LCD TV and still have money left over to order “HD” programming from your local cable company. The new HD programming is so clear and the picture quality is so precise on a LCD TV that you really are missing a lot without one. The nature shows and travel logs are especially worth the extra money. But you do not need to spend too much extra if you shop wisely.

A LCD TV is the new way to watch television. Buying a discount LCD TV is a great way to keep up with the Joneses while keeping a bit of extra money in your pocket.
