Everything You Need To Know About Computer Monitors
If you own a desktop computer, you will also own a separate computer monitor. It's probably a safe bet that you bought your monitor based on its size and cost, rather than other features. It's also probably a safe bet that you don't actually know that much about monitors, in general. This article will help you to learn more about your current computer screen. It will also help you choose a new one if you are currently looking.
Before purchasing a new monitor, check what kind of connection is available on your computer's video card. Most likely, it will either be a digital connector, which is called DVI, or it will be an analog connector, which is referred to as VGA. Buying a screen that can connect to your computer as soon as you buy it will make your life easier.
Don't fret too much if you end up liking a monitor that does not have the right kind of connection for your computer. This is very easy to fix by purchasing the right kind of adapter. An adapter is easy to find online and in most stores. They are also simple to install and do not cost much.
When choosing the size of your monitor, do not simply go for the cheapest one or the largest and most expensive. Think about what kinds of things you do on your computer and how much screen space they require. Also be sure the monitor will fit well on your desk.
A monitor may not be comfortable to look at with the mount that it comes with. If this is a problem for you, you can purchase a custom LCD mount. There are many different kinds of mounts. Some attach to a wall and others attach to a desk. Some also swivel and bend in all kinds of different ways.
You might notice that some monitors are advertised as having an LED backlight. All this means is that little LEDs, or light emitting diodes, are used to create light within the monitor. Older monitors used to use lamps, but the LEDs produce a wider range of colors that are more vivid.
Graphic LCD monitors are usually a good buy. These recreate pictures with a great level of detail and vivid colors. They're also available in many sizes and price ranges.
The next time you're about to buy a computer screen, really think about the features you want and how important the quality of the graphics are to you.
Canon unveils PowerShot G1 X: huge 14.3 megapixel sensor, 12,800 ISO, $800 price tag (Engadget)
You were expecting Canon to announce a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera,
weren't you? Well, we're not getting that today -- if ever. Instead, Canon has
introduced a large sensor model to its PowerShot G-series of cameras. The G1 X
joins (but doesn't replace) the G12, which previously held the title as the
company's largest point-and-shoot. While the camera itself is not any smaller,
the G1 X's 1.5-inch 14.3 megapixel CMOS sensor is what really makes it unique,
offering a sensor size nearly as large as the APS-C found in larger mirrorless
models and many full-size DSLRs. Larger sensors require larger lenses and
therefore larger body sizes, but for professional and advanced amateur
photographers, the benefits typically outweigh the inconvenience associated
with carrying a bulkier model.
With a large 1.5-inch (18.7 x 14mm) sensor, the Canon G1 X should
theoretically be able to capture higher quality images in low light (with
sensitivity boosted to ISO 12,800), and with more shallow depth of field --
the 4x 28mm lens has an aperture range of f/2.8-16, making it ideal for
everything from sports action to landscape shoots. The "EOS-like" feature set
includes 1080p video, 14-bit RAW and JPEG capture ...
