For gaming or home office - the best computer monitors

There are many different types of computer monitors on the market, but they all perform essentially the same function: give the user a visual representation of what the computer is "seeing". The 3 main types of computer monitors are CRT, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and LEDs.

Computer monitors are an essential part of every personal computer. They are used to transmit information to the user in visual form. The first computer monitors were still very primitive and could only display a few colors. With the advancement of technology, the monitors became more and more powerful and could display more and more colors and details. Nowadays there are different types of monitors that have different functions. Most computer monitors are TFT displays, but there are others such as LCD displays. The TFT displays are very powerful and can display high resolutions. LCD displays are a bit weaker, but also cheaper to buy.
