Should You Buy an LCD Monitor or an LCD Tv?

<h1>Should You Buy an LCD Monitor or an LCD Tv?</h1>Author: <a title="shweta sharma" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/shweta-sharma/88246.htm">shweta sharma</a> Lately businesses are buying large format (>32 inch) LCDs for video conferencing, boardrooms, receptions, and for a number of applications such as retail showroom advertising and surveillance. A key question being asked is whether they should buy an LCD monitor (also called LCD information display panel) or an LCD TV. Some people think that an LCD TV is an LCD monitor plus a TV tuner and they are surprised to find that an LCD monitor may cost more than an LCD TV. For them, it just doesn’t make sense. Here’s what is an LCD monitor and what it is not: A better image for LCD monitor: An LCD monitor produces higher quality images and has high brightness and contrast levels as well.  An LCD TV is likely not going to offer the same resolution as an LCD monitor! This is could be very important when viewing data. A longer-life more rugged-dust proof system: An LCD monitor is a closed end device with no fans and moving parts. An LCD TV usually has a fan, is not a closed box and may have moving parts. Most LCD monitors can be operated on a 24/7 basis however LCD TVs can not and the numbers of hours that an LCD TV can be operated should be checked. Typically LCD monitor has a life of 50,000 hours or more. An LCD monitor can be operated 24/7: An LCD TV cannot and built for max 6-8 hour continuous operation. Are you looking to connect displays together for advertising effect? An LCD Monitor can be easily connected together to create a video wall. The bezel can be removed and the gap between the monitors can be minimal and there are connection outlets in the monitor so that an image can be displayed across monitors to seem as one large image. This cannot be done in an LCD TV. LCD Monitors can be connected in a mirror image format so that the same image appears in all the monitors at the same time. Lower energy consumption: The energy consumed by LCD monitor is very less and since the electro-magnetic radiations emitted are also less, it is also less hazardous to health. Monitors can be networked: An LCD Monitor can be connected to the network and remotely controlled and monitored. As a business anyone would want to know which monitors are working and which are not from one central location so that a technician can be dispatched to take care of faulty monitors and this can easily be done incase of an LCD monitor. Further networked LCD monitors allow for remote content management and scheduling as well which is an added advantage for big businesses. Should you buy an LCD monitor vs. LCD TV? Consider the different variables and make the knowledgeable choice.
