The Inquirer has published an interesting article about their experiences at two recent display technology presentation events; namely Taipei Display Expo and Broadcast Asia in Singapore. They were surprised to see manufacturers showing off monitors with 16:10 and 5:4 aspect ratios, instead of the now usual 16:9. They also noted seeing a nice selection of OLED monitors (as large as 17 inches) on display for the first time as well as a plethora of LED-backlit LCD displays of all sizes, panel types and resolutions. There were also some mighty and impressive 3D computer monitors and TVs on display at the events, including the enormous 65-inch AUO ‘pattern retarder’ 3D Full HD LED TV. Some 480Hz refresh rate technology was also shown off (although most likely not a ‘true’ 480Hz but rather using pulldown and frame rate conversation techniques). For more information about the display technologies shown off at the event, see the original The Inquirer has article.

We love to keep you up to date with important developments in computer displays – that’s why we discussed Samsung’s new Eyefinity monitors. In our future monitors article we talked about the the Ostando CRVD display which offers a huge curved monitor at a ridiculous premium. Some of the same ceveats apply with the new Samsung displays, although the price is somewhat lower and resolution considerably higher. We therefore feel that these ultra-wide monitors are a nice concept that will become far more practical in the future; when they are cheaper and we have the computing horsepower to handle such high resolutions.

Here you will find captivating and unique articles related to PC monitors. These monitor articles analyse the past and current state of PC monitor technology, and also look ahead to what we can expect in the future. “3D” monitors, LED-backlit monitors and OLEDs are all discussed, as is the terminology used on the odd occasion in our PC monitor reviews. But it’s not just about the technology – you will also find articles which help you get the most out of your current PC monitor, for example how to clean it correctly. As more is known about the progression of future PC monitor technology or if we are nagged enough to cover a specific topic; the articles will be updated and the PC Monitors slaves may even write you some new ones.

Latest Monitor Article

The latest PC Monitors article covers how you can make a cheap home-made solution that will get your screen looking good as new. By using two simple ingredients you can form a cleaning fluid that quickly evaporates and will not smear or damage your monitor. In this monitor article we also cover the correct materials and methods to use when cleaning your TFT monitor screen. Unlike conventional CRT monitors with their robust glassy screens, TFT monitor screens are fairly delicate – learn how to clean them properly, safely, efficiently and cheaply.

Previous Monitor Articles

PC Monitors has already briefly introduced OLED (organic light emitting diode) technology in the future of PC monitors article. We delve a little deeper into what is shaping up to be the technology of choice for future computer monitors. We explore what OLED technology is, how at works and the advantages it offers over monitor technologies such as LCD (liquid crystal display). The disadvantages of OLED monitors are also looked at, as are the current steps manufacturers are taking to rectify the issues to make them viable for both the TV screens and PC monitors of tomorrow.

We look back at the PC monitor technology of yester-year, including the famous CRT. We then look at how monitors have evolved since then, and focus specifically on the evolution of the humble LCD display. We look beyond this current display technology and into the future, exploring developments in LED backlighting technology, 3D (120Hz+ and holographic) and OLED displays. We also look at some other technology on the side, which is probably suitable only for a niche market (think ultra-wide curved displays and touchscreens).

PC Monitors also takes a look at the technology behind (or indeed, inside) the latest generation of LCD monitors, the previous generation of CRT monitors and even a glimpse at future (OLED) monitor technology. This monitor article contains images and a video to aid explanations of terminology which may feature in upcoming monitor articles and reviews.

The latest PC Monitors article covers how you can make a cheap home-made solution that will get your computer monitor screen looking as good as new. By simply using two key ingredients at the right concentration you can create a grease-cutting fluid that quickly evaporates and will not smear or mark your monitor. We also cover the correct method (and materials) to use when cleaning your TFT monitor screen. Unlike conventional CRT monitors with their robust glassy screens, TFT monitor screens are relatively delicate – learn how to clean them properly, safely, efficiently and cheaply.

PC Monitors takes an insightful look at OLED (organic light emitting diode) technology that will likely be found in the computer monitors of tomorrow. We look at how OLED monitors work on a scientific level and look at the slight variations in OLED technology that exist for a wide variety of useful applications. We then look at the advantages that OLED monitors have over ‘traditional’ LCD monitors and also explore some potential disadvantages. 

Since OLED technology will become increasingly important and viable in relation to PC monitors, we also look at how the potential disadvantages of OLED screens are being nullified by monitor manufacturers such as Samsung, who are at the forefront of OLED research and development. We hope you find the article both interesting and informative as well as unique. You should find the explanations of the technology and its applications particularly informative, especially with the videos and pictures that accompany this PC Monitors article.
