Improvements In LCD Technology Over The Years
Improvements in LCD technology over the years has been steady and, lately, even spectacular. Liquid crystal display screens are popping up everywhere in greater proportions than ever before. These modern ways of displaying information have come a great distance, to the point where very tiny LCD screens can be found in very common consumer electronics or in the most modern automobiles and aircraft. It would seem that the CRT tube and heavyweight TVs are going the way of the dinosaur.
As an example, look around and take note of the flat-panel LCD TV that's probably occupying a place of pride in the home. This TV has been improved over the last few years through use of LED backlight technology that makes use of light emitting diodes to improve the brightness and clarity of the TVs display screen. The LEDs have replaced more traditional fluorescent tubes that are still used to light many of these TVs, though it may not be for long.
These light emitting diodes run along the edges of a typical LCD TVs display screen, hidden behind what's called a 'bezel, ' helping to brighten and sharpen the display in very useful ways. This is a classic example of how innovation and technology is used to improve a common consumer good like a modern LCD TV to the point where it is stunningly slim in its appearance.
Not that this is the only innovation that display screen technology has benefited from. There are now very tiny custom LCD screens that can be used for all manner of applications, including measurement and information dissemination. These little screens cost well under $100 and are capable of adding a seriously good looking and high-tech appearance to almost anything that once used old style analog gauges.
Most of these display screens -- whether used in TVs or in some other application -- use much less energy than do older LCD screens or even analog gauges. They've been a fixture in aircraft cockpits for number of years, and the newest of these custom liquid crystal display units are finding a place in many other applications, such as in an automobile or medical equipment, much of which depends on display screens to put out critical data.
A relative to the custom liquid crystal display module is the graphic LCD unit. It interfaces extremely easily with most computers through use of a common USB 2.0 port or through an older style serial port connection. Just about all of them can be easily programmed to display a wide variety of data and information and normally cost somewhere around $100 for a unit that can carry out a great deal of functions.
Innovation is a fact of human existence. A lot of good work has been carried out in taking the common LCD display screen and turning it into something that is much better than it was when it first made its appearance in common wristwatches many years ago. As far as widespread consumer applications, the flat-panel LCD TV is probably best known, and the work that's gone into it has been impressive and has turned out a TV that's miles ahead of its older cousins.
Are there LCD monitors that support "true" 120hz viewing?
"3D" monitors are designed to run at 120hz when playing games and provide users with 3d glasses 60fps per eye. I was wondering if these monitors support standard 2D desktop viewing in 120hz mode, rather than just "3D game mode".
If not, are there any LCD monitors capable of actually displaying anything above 60hz (not including monitors that sync to 75hz, but only produce 60fps)?
Yes. If you go to the nVidia 3D vision website they have a complete list of monitors that fully support 120hz viewing.
I personally have a Samsung 2233RZ with an nVidia 3D vision setup and it works brilliantly.
