Lcd Monitor Reviews - My Seven Challenges
Writing LCD monitor reviews I quite similar to that of HDTVs but there are
fewer technical terms involved. I find it much easier to write LCD monitor
reviews as compared to a TV. A computer monitor is mostly made up of TN
panel which is the cheapest one. The higher end modes use IPS technology
which is very expensive and hence recommended only for professionals like
graphic designers. I have tested quite a lot of LCD monitors in my labs and
I feel quite lucky because manufacturer's send me all their products for
testing. Some times, they send me the monitors even before they are released
in the market.
This article is about how I write
LCD monitor reviews. It takes me about 3-4
days to complete a monitor review after which I send them back to the
manufacturer. I look first at the price and then see if the monitor gives
good value for money. I am jotting down a few things that I test the product
for before finally writing LCD monitor reviews.
Style: This might not be that important to you but fashion conscious people
are crazy about the style of everything that they own. I get lots of e-mails
asking me to focus more on the looks of the product and hence I make sure
this section is big enough in my LCD monitor reviews.
OSD: All monitors give OSD array but sometimes they are not easy to
navigate. I mention all this in my LCD monitor reviews. I don't feel
uncomfortable OSD navigation is much of a problem simply because you don't
calibrate the monitor too often. You just set in once, according to your
preference, and then leave it as it is. I have seen some panels having touch
sensitive OSD arrays. Some even have glowing buttons on the OSD and this is
useful for calibrating the monitor in the dark.
Ergonomic options: There are plenty of ergonomic options that a manufacturer
can put in a computer monitor like tilt, pivot, swivel, and height. The
pivot options is seen only on professional monitors and most monitors have
only the tilt options. I mention all this in my LCD monitor reviews, there
are some people who are willing to pay more to have these ergonomic options.
Movie, text and game tests: This is for picture quality tests. I see parts
of text, and also play some games and movies for checking out the video
quality. For game tests, I use World of Warcraft since it is really good in
testing the monitor's color quality and also the vibrancy in games. All the
scores are mentioned in my LCD monitor reviews.
Panel type: I mostly get TN panels in my labs for testing because it is the
most common one. TN panels are also relatively inexpensive and hence give
good value for money. On the other hand, there is the IPS panel which gives
superior performance in terms of color and brightness but the price of these
products are really high and hence are recommended for professionals only. I
give more points to a panel in my LCD monitor reviews but not all can afford
to spend so much money on a computer monitor.
Power consumption: The world is going green and hence I write about how much
power the monitor consumes in the LCD monitor reviews. I also compare one
monitor with another since I get a lot of them in my labs for reviewing.
Viewing angle: If you have a lot of friends with you, there is a need for
wider viewing angle. If the viewing angle is not good, the people who are
sitting at less than optimal angle will see a big black screen and nothing
else.
These are my tests for LCD monitor reviews. Also, I go through the Internet
a lot checking what else can be done to improve the reviews.
