Why using LCD...?

Ever wondered why the bigger CRT screens weigh more? Blame it on technology that is used for display.
A CRT monitor uses an electron gun to bombard electrons over a glass tube coated with phosphor, which glows when struck by the electron beam. While in LCDs , liquid crystals sandwiched between thin polarized sheets are used. This setup allows LCDs to be sleeker and less heavier than CRTs. They consume 1/3rd of the power of a CRT. They also emit lesser radiation than CRTs, and therefore are less stressful for eyes. So if your employees spend long hours in front of their PCs, then it's better to give them LCD monitors. There is one small drawback in LCD monitors. The viewing angle of most LCD monitors is only 160 degrees, so if you try to view the monitor from the sides, you may not be able to see anything. Nevertheless, that's a small price to pay compared to the benefits you'll get by using them...
Pivot display...
Some LCD monitors have the feature to pivot the display panel from landscape to portrait mode. This can be done by using the supplied software that comes with the monitor; it rotates and reforms the image to be displayed in the new orientation. Additionally, monitors that generally have this feature can be rotated clockwise (by 90 degree) to facilitate work in the portrait mode. This feature can be useful when you're working on long documents, you needn't scroll down while viewing a long webpage.
On-Screen display....
Similar to CRTs, LCDs also need to be adjusted for brightness, contrast, and color. Thus LCDs also come with adjustment keys that provide OSD controls. One should check that these controls are easy to use, quick to learn, and the keys on front panel are not flimsy. Some manufacturers also provide an OSD lock control, which means that no one can alter your settings. If you want this feature then it is advisable to check the OSD lock feature: how easy it is to use and reset.
