Save space with cheap TFT monitors!

TFT stands for ‘Thin Film Transistor’. A TFT monitor is a type of LCD display that’s better at displaying small fonts, which makes it easier for you to read on-screen content.

Traditionally PC monitors have been CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays, which are bulky, heavy monitors that take up a lot of desk space. Even a cheap TFT monitor offers saved space and lower power consumption!

Combining the saved space, lack of flicker and the increased adjustability that a TFT monitor offers (you can easily position a TFT monitor at a height and angle that’s right for you) TFT monitors are a perfect solution. They are a cheap, low power consumption, space saving monitor that produces a great picture too!

There’s a full range of cheap TFT monitors at PC World from well-known manufacturers, such as: Advent, Samsung, and LG. Sizes include 14, 17, 19, 20, 22, and 23 inches so browse online and choose the right TFT monitor for you!

Apple Mac Cinema Monitors

Apple’s wide-screen cinema displays are as smart, stylish, and high performance as the computers they were designed to compliment, the Apple Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2 for instance. Having a bigger monitor doesn’t just mean a bigger picture either; it means more space on your screen.

With Apple’s 20 inch Cinema Monitor, it’s possible to have two pages spread out and still be able to edit text without squinting. You can work in art or video programs with dozens of tools handy on screen, but still have plenty of space to work.

The bezel round the edge of the screen is very narrow, which makes Apple Cinema Monitors perfect for a dual-screen set up, the two screens almost blending in to each other.

The great news is that Apple Cinema Monitors work perfectly with any PC, not just Apple Macs. Not only that, each Apple Monitor has two handy USB ports to make attaching other devices to your computer easy. Order your Apple Cinema Monitor online today at PC World

What size monitor do I need?

Aside from space and budget considerations, have a think about what you and your family are likely to be doing in the next few years. Remember that you can upgrade your PC by itself in the future, keeping the monitor.

A larger monitor doesn’t just mean that onscreen images are all bigger, it means you have more space to compare documents or pictures you might be working on and that there's more space for budding musicians or film producers to have useful menus and tools open and still see an overview of their work.

You can even get a cheap PC monitor with built in TV tuner that can thus double-up as a second television set. Are you a laptop user? A monitor at home greatly adds to the usability of a laptop by helping you sit with good posture and giving you the instant flexibility of two screens - for the price of one!

TFT monitor or CRT? What's the difference?

If saving space isn’t your first consideration and you want the most powerful computer you can afford, a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor will save you some money. Colours look great on CRT monitors and - because of their size - they can be harder-wearing than their thin screen alternatives. Don't plan on carrying one home though! A typical 17” TFT weighs around 6 kg, which would be heavy enough if you were taking it on the bus, but a 17” CRT weighs in at around 16 kg! A 19” CRT typically weighs a massive 23 kg.

You also get more screen for your money with a TFT. A typical 17” TFT screen displays the equivalent area of a 19” CRT.

Weight aside, the flicker-free TFT screen is easier on the eye, uses less power, and saves a lot of space on your desk.

Don’t worry if the only monitor you can afford is a cheap CRT monitor, it will work just fine. But to make the most of your space, be energy efficient, and easier on you and your family’s eyes, you need a flat panel TFT!
