What the right computer monitor can do for you:
- Reduce energy costs.
- Reduce eyestrain.
- Save scrolling time for wide spreadsheets or graphics viewing.
- Improve productivity.
Action Steps for Monitors
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Beware of CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors
Sure, CRT monitors may save you some cash initially, but they have some serious disadvantages. They tend to be heavier, they take up more desk space, they’re more tiring on your eyes, and they hog more energy than other models. That’s why they appear to be headed for extinction. For years, graphics pros have preferred CRTs for their color fidelity, but LCD models are catching up in this arena.
I recommend:
If you’re set on a CRT, you can find them at SuperWarehouse.com.
Consider an LCD monitor
Liquid crystal display monitors are thin, lightweight, energy-efficient, flat-screen computer monitors that are slightly more expensive than CRT monitors, but may be worth the extra cost thanks to several advantages. LCD monitors are brighter and produce excellent text, which lessens eyestrain. If you’re in a graphics or photo-related business, you can now find LCDs with calibrating tools that allow you to match colors exactly, but note that these are usually high-end models.
I recommend:
Check out CNET’s top picks for LCDs for business users and LCDs for graphics pros. Find links to LCD monitor vendors at Business.com.
Choose an energy-saving computer monitor
The average LCD monitor consumes one-half to two-thirds less energy than the average CRT monitor. And because LCDs produce less heat, they can reduce the air conditioning costs for your office. For major savings, choose an Energy Star monitor that consumes up to 85% less energy than standard monitors.
I recommend:
Search for Energy Star qualified monitors by brand, display type or size. These money-saving monitors also enable Monitor Power Management (MPM), which puts the monitor into a low power sleep mode when inactive.
Size matters
Monitors are measured diagonally from corner to corner, like televisions. LCD monitors have a native (fixed) resolution at which the display looks best. A 15-inch LCD has a 1024 by 768 pixel native resolution, while most 17- 19-inch models use a 1280 by 1024 native resolution. Although you can display other resolutions on LCDs, they may not be as clear as the native resolution. Entry-level business monitors should be at least 17 inches. For workers who spend most of their time working at their computer, 19 inches is preferred. In general, it is best to get the biggest monitor you can afford that fits on your desk. Many monitors have built-in speakers, which also saves desk space. The wide-screen format is best for working in large spreadsheets.
I recommend:
At TigerDirect.com, monitors are listed by size so you can easily zero in on what you need. PC Connection has drop down menus that allow you search by display size, manufacturer and price.
Test drive computer monitors at local stores
The best you can tell if you like the images on a monitor is to see it in person. Be sure to evaluate both text and graphics on any monitor you’re considering.
I recommend:
Go to your local Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Office Depot, Staples, OfficeMax or find a local computer vendor via ShopLocal, where you can search for “monitor” according to your zip code. If you plan on using a computer monitor filter or screen, consider that when you're shopping.
Shop for the best prices
The Web has many tools to allow you to pinpoint the best prices for monitors. Remember, if you buy online, there is the added cost of shipping and handling. Always review return policies before making a purchase online.
I recommend:
If you have decided on specific brand and model of computer monitor, sites such as PriceGrabber, NextTag and Shopping.com will help locate the lowest price for that specific monitor. If you want to find the best deals and you are flexible in the brand of monitor you want, visit TechBargains and PriceWatch.
Save space with flat panel monitors
Flat panel display monitors are becoming more popular all the time, both for their own aesthetically pleasing dimensions and because they save valuable desk space.
I recommend:
Best Buy for Business offers a number of flat panel monitors. Other vendors can be found on Business.com flat panel monitor page.
Tips & Tactics for Eyeing Monitors
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Make sure the monitor connector matches your computer's connector.
- Make sure your new computer monitor displays in the native resolution you like to use and is compatible with your video card and driver.
- Keep the monitor box, foam and receipts, manual and warranty stored in a safe place. Monitors are fragile, and many manufacturers will not accept a returned monitor unless it is packed in its original box and packaging.
- Avoid eyestrain by adjusting your computer monitor to the proper height and angle and keeping it clean.
- Avoid using common household chemicals or abrasive wipes (or cloths) to clean LCD monitors which may destroy the surface. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning methods.
