Computer monitor
 A computer monitor is an electronic device that shows pictures.
 Monitors often look similar to televisions. The main difference between a monitor and a
television is that a monitor does not have a television tuner to change channels.
 Monitors often have higher display resolution than televisions. A high display resolution makes
it easier to see smaller letters and fine graphics.

There are three types of computer displays:

CRT monitor

 These are big and heavy and use a lot of desk space and electricity.
 It is the oldest technology used by monitors and is based on the cathode ray tube technology
that was developed for television. Monitors are made with better parts which give a higher
display resolution and picture sharpness than a television.
 This type of monitor is no longer popular.

LCD monitor

 Much thinner and lighter than monitors with a cathode ray tube.
 The most common kind of flat panel display. It is a newer technology than CRT.
 LCD monitors use much less desk space, are lightweight and use less electricity than CRT.
 They have been used for many years in the screens of laptop and notebook computers. They
also work as touch screens in tablet computers, mobile phones, and other handheld
technologies.

LED Monitor

 LED is short for Light Emitting Diode

 LED display is an LCD Monitor that uses light emitting diodes for back lighting.
 The first LCD Monitors used CCFL instead of LEDs to illuminate the screen.
