LCD vs. CRT Monitor Comparison
Text and images (scans of census records) are crisper and sharper and the LCD monitor is
easier on your eyes. Monitor's size: Traditional monitors are similar to a TV because both of
them have the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). That is the reason for its bigger size. It therefore
occupies more space at the desk. It is also heavy.
However, LCD monitors have thin flat screen. Therefore occupies very less space and is
lighter than the CRT monitor. LCD monitors can be fixed even on wall. Display Size: Even
though the display size of a CRT monitor is calculated diagonally, the actual display size is
smaller. For instance a 17" CRT monitor will actually have a display size of only 16"
However, the display size of 17" LCD monitor will have 17" display size. Resolution: CRT
monitors can show different resolutions. The resolution can be changed as required. LCD
Monitors will have Native Resolution and therefore has a fixed resolution. The best
resolution will be the native resolution for that LCD monitor. Viewing Direction: A CRT
screen can be viewed from all directions. And from different distance. But LCD monitors
cannot be viewed from all directions. LCD monitors can only be viewed straight. Therefore
its viewing direction is limited. If viewed from other directions the colors will change and
sometimes the vision will be unclear if not viewed straight. But in recent years the new LCD
monitors have improved on this defect. Radiation Emission: The radiation emission in CRT
monitors are higher. This will not be visible normally but it will affect eyesight and may cause
head ache. Long term use of these monitors may even affect the eyes adversely. LCD
monitors do not have this type of Radiation emission. Therefore LCD monitors are good for
the eyes. Price: CRT monitors are priced very cheap. However they consume more power.
LCD monitors are priced higher, but they consume less electricity. Though the electricity
consumption is not very significant for personal use, it is very cost efficient in big
organizations with many computers.
Monitor
Text and images (scans of census records) are crisper and sharper and the LCD monitor is
easier on your eyes. Dot pitch: This is the space between dots and is measured in fractions
of a millimeter, e.g., .25mm. The smaller the number the better because the dots are tighter.
Many manufacturers don%u2019t even list the dot pitch anymore and you probably won
%u2019t be able to tell the difference between a .22 and .27 pitch anyway. So, if you like
the monitor then don%u2019t worry about the dot pitch. Passive-matrix vs. active-matrix:
Do not buy a passive-matrix monitor. I seriously doubt you%u2019ll even see one for sale,
but%u2026just in case. Having said that, there are some new passive-matrix technologies
that are worth buying. If the monitor isn't TFT (a type of active-matrix), look for CSTN or
DSTN (the latest passive technologies). Brightness: How bright is the picture, expressed as
cd/m (I have no idea what the units mean). Look for a brightness level of 200 cd/m or
greater. Again, if the monitor specs don%u2019t list this value (not all do) be sure you can
get your money back. If the lighting in your office (kitchen table) is subdued the brightness
factor won%u2019t be as important as if you have a lot of sunlight streaming in. Don

2. %u2019t pay extra for extra brightness unless you%u2019re worried about bright sunlight.
Overall, the contrast ratio will have a bigger impact on picture quality. Monitor's size:
Traditional monitors are similar to a TV because both of them have the CRT (Cathode Ray
Tube). That is the reason for its bigger size. It therefore occupies more space at the desk. It
is also heavy. However, LCD monitors have thin flat screen. Therefore occupies very less

only 16" However, the display size of 17" LCD monitor will have 17" display size.
Resolution: CRT monitors can show different resolutions. The resolution can be changed as
required. LCD Monitors will have Native Resolution and therefore has a fixed resolution.
The best resolution will be the native resolution for that LCD monitor.
CRT
Speaking of easy on your eyes, there isn't any glare, and the flat screen means no
distortion. By the way, even those expensive old-fashioned flat screen CRT monitors have
some distortion. Monitor's size: Traditional monitors are similar to a TV because both of
them have the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). That is the reason for its bigger size. It therefore
occupies more space at the desk. It is also heavy. However, LCD monitors have thin flat

Learn About The Guitar Amp And How It Works

3. Guitar Amplifiers
Chances are you've just bought your first Electric guitar and wish to find out all about guitar
amps. Maybe you're just curious as to how long amps have been around, how they work, or
which to purchase. Whatever the reason, by reading this article, you'll get answers.
History of the Amplifier
Guitar amps have been around for roughly 70 years now, having first appeared during the
1930s. The earliest amps had very poor high treble and bass responses. This was improved
over time, as amps became better developed. During the '60s, the guitar amp greatly
evolved to where it is today when guitarists of that era experimented with deliberately
overloading their amp to create Distortion. From that point on, most amps were provided
with preamp distortion controls. Playing with distortion has since become an important part
of Electric guitar playing.
Types of Amplifiers
There are two types of amps: solid state and vacuum tube amps. Additionally, there are
some amps that combine both solid state and tube technologies. Most amps, especially the
least expensive ones, are solid state because they are lighter and easier to repair than tube
amps are. A lot of guitarists, however, prefer the tube amp due to the tube amp's analog
sensitivity, which they claim makes tube amps sound better. While this is probably the case,
most beginners can't afford to shell out the $500-$1000 it costs to buy a good tube amp.
That's why solid state amps are actually a good buy in some cases.
Solid state and vacuum tube amps come in combo (speakers and head) packages or
separately. Guitarists who aren't picky can just buy the combo, while those who are picky
can 'mix and match' heads and speakers. This is useful for those looking to achieve a
certain sound.
How Amps Work/What Watts Mean
Without going into a big, long, technical explanation, amplifiers basically take the vibration
(sound) of the string(s) and amplify it, thereby increasing the sound. If you wish to find out
more about the technical side of guitar amps, there are several good books that cover the
topic pretty thoroughly.
Each amplifier has a certain number of watts. The higher the number of watts, the louder
the sound produced by the amp is. Generally speaking, those who wish to play shows will
want to get amplifiers with at least 30 watts, preferably at least 50 watts, especially if they
plan on playing at larger venues.
