has written a short little \"All you wanted to know\" on computer monitors.
\"Why is a monitor so important? Monitors can make or break your personal computer - the monitor itself is what gives a computer its\' functionality and overall usability. Though only as good as your video card, the quality of the image decided your level of comfort as a poor quality or incorrectly setup monitor can cause eye strain and possibly headaches. Depending on what specifics and standards, a monitor might (or might not) be able to run certain software as the software might need a specific resolution or color depth in order to work properly. Lastly, monitors hardly devalue as they are interchangeable with almost any computer and can have a lifespan on average of 3 - 5 years, though some last for as many as 10 years.\"
