What is a Monitor?
The monitor displays the video and graphics information generated by the computer through the video card. Monitors are very similar to televisions but display information at a much higher quality.
The Monitor is Also Known As:
screen, display, video display, video screen
Important Monitor Facts:
A monitor, no matter the type, connects to either a VGA or DVI port on a video card. Before investing in a new monitor, make sure that both devices support the same type of connection.
Monitors are not typically user serviceable. For your safety, it's not usually wise to open and work on a monitor.
Monitor Description:
Monitors are display devices external to the computer case and connect via a cable to a port on the video card. Even though the monitor sits outside the main computer housing, it is an essential part of the complete system.
Monitors come in two major types - CRT and LCD. CRT monitors look much like traditional televisions and are very deep in size. LCD monitors are much thinner while still offering equivalent, if not better, graphics quality. LCD monitors are beginning to obsolete CRT monitors due to their smaller "footprint" on the desk and decreasing price.
Most monitors range in size from 15" to 21" or more. This size is a diagonal measurement from one corner of the screen to the other.
Different Types of Computer Monitors:
CRT Monitors
Flat screen CRT Monitors
LCD Monitors
Monitor Ports:
Now a days there are many types of ports available to connect display device or computer monitor to your computer. The Computer Monitor is connected to Graphics Card of a Computer using a Port. The Graphics card may be an internal graphics card on the motherboard of a Desktop Computer or an external graphics card can also be used. In case you do need to add another display device to your laptop and your laptop does not have any other available port available, then you can consider connecting an external graphics card using the USB port.
Knowledge of Monitor Ports can be helpful in case you do need to connect another internal / external graphics card. You would need to match port of your graphics card (internal or external) to port of your computer monitor or other display device. You can also use port converters in case you do not have matching graphics card and computer monitor ports. Few of the available ports for computer monitors or display devices are VGA, DVMI, DisplayPort and S-Video. Given below paragraphs will talk briefly about the Monitor / Display device ports.
VGA Port:
VGA or DE-15(analog) connecting ports were common to the older CRT monitors having 15 pins in an array of five each. The Asus AX300SE/TD 128MB DDR PCIe card is one such example.
