Buying Good Laptop Screens

In today's world, the traditional desktop personal computer is slowly fading into the dark

, and laptops have become wildly popular. Everyone seems to carry a laptop around, and the fact that a laptop can fit into a school bag has made it even more popular among the youth. Businessmen seem to rely heavily on their laptop for stock exchange updates and researchers make use of the laptop for the latest journals.

You will find the laptop very useful but you may not know how to take good care of it. You may even be misled by advertisements and purchase the wrong laptop with a third rate screen, which may eventually damage your eyes. Therefore, you have to do a bit of research and find a replacement laptop screen which will suit you best.

The first generation laptops had Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) screens and this did not make life any better for the owners. With the advent of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology, laptop screens have become clearer and the quality of display has improved by a large factor. A Thin film Transistor (TFT) LCD screen is found on almost every laptop and this is largely because of the power advantage. While a CRT monitor has a power rating of about 165 watts, an LCD monitor has a power rating of only 30 watts. An LCD monitor is very slim and compact and has a higher resolution than a CRT monitor. The new LCD models have improved contrast ratios and reduced response times. LCD touch screens have also become quite popular.

When you buy a laptop, you should select a display that suits your requirements. Laptop screens are available in different sizes, with the numbers indicating the diagonal length of the total viewable area in inches. If you want to use your laptop for calculation purposes, you probably may not need a big screen. If you want to convert your laptop into an entertainment centre, you may like to choose the 17" screen.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) screens are also quite popular. They require lesser energy than the LCD screens and provide better quality of display. You should choose a laptop that allows for brightness control. This is very essential because the laptop screen should not damage your eyes.

If you want to purchase a laptop with a touch screen, you should make sure that a good scratch card is provided on the screen. With an LCD screen, you should not touch the monitor when it is running. This may cause irreparable damage to the diodes. You can visit the local computer store to get an idea.

You can also pay a visit to the websites of the leading laptop manufacturers and have a look at the different kinds of screens. The use of laptop skins to protect your laptop is also recommended. A laptop screen will prevent dust and fingerprints and will render your laptop scratch free. Finally, you should test the laptop before buying it, to know if you are actually comfortable with the screen.
