SIZE UP: STANDARD 15.4” VS. 17”++ COMPUTER MONITORS

When considering purchasing a full computer set up from your computer retail provider, the immediate things we usually fuss over are the CPU speed and hard disk space. Average users tend to take for granted the monitor size that is included in the set up.

Computer monitors are used just as much as any other component of the computer. When pondering on what monitor size should you have, any pc technical support would give the following hints:


The standard size for a computer monitor is the 15.4 inches which is appropriate for the basic uses of the computer like producing documents, browsing the internet for average research, and the like. Basically, this size is pretty much capable of giving you a clear display of what you do with your computer.


Bigger monitor sizes, 17 inches and more, are apt for computer tasks that have to deal with images and videos. Gamers, video editors, digital photographers would surely prefer the bigger sized monitors than the average one since they need a higher image definition. They also need the bigger interface that these monitors have. Image editing for example, would sometimes need to zoom in on the pictures and the bigger interface allows the editor to work on a larger area without having the need to scroll horizontally or vertically. These types of monitors would also do well when the user needs to work with several windows in one sitting.


In choosing a 17 inch monitor or higher, you also need to have a bigger video card in order to have excellent resolution display. The size or capacity of a video card should be matched with the monitor size. A big video card would not work well with a 15.4 inches monitor and vice versa.


Do not forget to include the other components of you computer set up. It will be a much worthwhile experience if you have studied and considered the capacity of the different you are working with.
