Computer Monitors?
[2008-05-06 18:54:40]

Q: I have a computer that is about 4 years old (yes i need to buy a new one). I am an avid video gamer, but not on my PC, but on my Xbox 360. I was wondering if there are companies that make a high quality computer monitor that doubles as a Small HDTV. (Preferrably under 1000 dead presidents)

A: If you want a computer monitor that can double as a small HDTV, then you want to look for an LCD panel that has HDMI inputs.

Newegg has a KDS 26" LCD with HDMI at $419: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824155056

Dell is selling a Samsung 26" with HDMI for $685: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A1500995

Both do 1920x1200 resolution for your computer. Personally I'd go with the Samsung.

26" monitors seem to be your best bet.. I'd love to recommend a 30" for you, but those cost way over 1000 dead presidents (especially for the ones with HDMI) so that's probably out of the question. :-P

What causes computer monitors to burn out quickly?
[2008-06-19 09:13:53]
Hi-Tec Trash

After a couple days of having the monitor plugged in it goes out. The computer also crashes ever once in awhile. It feels like the power supply is real hot. Could this be the source of the problem or is there something else that could be the problem. Monitor went out, bought replacement and the it went out after a few days. Don't want to buy another one til I know that I've fixed the problem that causes the monitors to go out.


it could be faulty wireing, but unlike tvs, most people not even knowing it leave moniters on allllllllllllllllll day and all night....ifs its in screen saver, its not off

NEC's first LED monitor looks familiar CNET News

LED is definitely the new black in the world of computer monitors. Most vendors have gotten behind the technology and many more are beginning to announce LED-based products. Check out my list of the five best LED monitors , and see what the current top-rated models are.

NEC is the latest vendor to drop its hat into the mix. On Wednesday, it announced the MultiSync EA222WMe, the company's first LED monitor.

Aesthetically, judging just by the picture, the monitor resembles the previously reviewed NEC MultiSync EA221WM .

Like the EA221WM, the EA222WMe has a 16:10 aspect ratio screen, 1,680x1,050 resolution, and a four-way ergonomic stand. In addition, the LED-based monitor includes a 250 cd/m2 brightness, 30,000 dynamic contrast ratio, VGA, DVI, USB, and DisplayPort inputs, and built-in speakers.

The monitor includes an Eco mode that caps the brightness, a carbon meter, and a cost meter. According to NEC, it also uses less packing materials than the company's non-LED monitors.

How do multiple computer monitors work with only one computer?
[2009-01-12 06:36:46]
Home Computer Desk

I was watching The Dark Knight yesterday and another show and never understood how they can get all those screens to work on one computer?
Sometimes the screens all show the same thing and sometimes they each have their own webpage!
What features does your computer need to allow multiple monitors to work like that?
Thank You

How much energy are my coworkers waisting leaving their computer monitors on overnight?

My lazy coworkers turn off their computers but not their computer monitors at night and over the weekend. It is incredibly lazy and bad for the environment! How much energy (and dollars) are they waisting? Assume they should have it on 9-5, Monday to Friday! You can work it our per person - 17 inch screen!

Thanks.


It depends.

On the power switch, is the symbol a vertical line completely enclosed by a circle? Or is it a vertical line running through the top of a circle?


I suspect it is the latter, in which case the standby power is typically the same as the 'off' power, so they are wasting just as much electricity as you are. If the system is off then the monitor will go into a standby power saving mode.

If it is the former symbol then I would suspect that it would be a watt or maybe two.

168 hours a week, less a 40 hour work week gives 128 hours. Times 2 watts gives 256 watt hours per week. About 1 kWH, or 1 unit per month.

If the hear is on, then the office will save 1 kWH of heating costs. If the AC is on, then it will probably cost another 1.5 - 2 kWH to remove that heat.

So about $1.50 per person per year.
