What is a Monitor? What are the types?
The monitor is the name given to electronic or electro-mechanical tools used to create images. It is an output device of many electronic devices, especially television and computer. We can think of the computer case as the brain and the monitor as the eye. It is an essential and indispensable part of the reflection of the transactions and information to the external environment.
It is the most important output device of many electronic devices, primarily television and computer. The monitor is an important part that is kept in a plastic form, forming pictorial shapes with the necessary electronic circuits and power transformers.
The dimensions of the monitor are expressed in an "inch" size. The criterion that creates this size is called "inch" from the corner of the monitor screen to its distance with its opposite cross corner.
Monitor Types
Monitors are usually of two types. CRT, which is old type use and can be as big as television, thinner and new generation LCD Monitors and Plasma Monitors produced for private use.
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)
LCD (Liquid Cyristal)
Plasma Monitors
1- CRT Monitors
Although it is rarely used today, it is now replaced by LCD Monitors. Also known as Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors are quite large monitors like television. It is a wide-space monitor type known as scuba. Each spot on the monitor consists of colored phosphors. These phosphor points form the concept called "pixels" on the screen. This formation is obtained to the phosphor points of electrons very quickly and with continuity.
2- LCD Monitors
As it is understood from the name of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitors, there are liquid crystals in its structure. It is much thinner than other monitors. On LCD monitors, the image is provided with liquid crystal diodes. It is designed with mobile simple operating systems.
The difference between LED TV or LED monitors from LCD monitors is only the backlight system. Briefly, a fluorescent lamp is used as a lighting system in LCD monitors, while LED light is used in LED monitors. Therefore, LED Monitors are thinner than LCDs and the image is of good quality. It is also more energy-efficient.
3- Plasma Monitors
Plasma monitors have a highly improved imaging system with image quality. Although these monitors are rarely used in computers, three of the cinema or television systems are widely produced. The monitor types, which are very expensive compared to CRT and LCD monitors, are not suitable for individual use. Plasma monitors are used for presentation purposes, especially for home theater systems and organizations. However, although some brands have produced Plasma Monitors for individual use in recent years, it is still not common.
