What you gain by using an LCD monitor for your industrial display is the future of display technology. CRTs although they have dropped in cost significantly, do not offer the performance, reliability, and mounting options available with LCDs. LCD monitors consist primarily of an LCD, video board and a backlight. The LCD determines to a large extent the viewing angle, brightness and contrast. Beyond that it is the function of the video board, which converts the analog RGB (Red, Green, Blue) signals from a standard video card to a high quality, digital RGB that the LCD can display.

LCD monitors can can be set for one or more of the following resolutions:
VGA: 640 x480
SVGA: 800×600
XGA 1024 x 768
SXGA 1280 x1024
UXGA 1600x 1200

Note: The VGA acronym stands for Video Graphics Adapter. It is used to describe both the most common type of display interface used by PC’s and lowest resolution setting for this interface. Originally only the VGA [640x480] resolution was available on a VGA interface. Today all of the above interfaces are available on a VGA interface, but not all monitors support all resolutions. . The native resolution of the LCD is normally the maxium resolution that the LCD can display, and is the resolution that the LCD will exhibit the best display charastics Check the monitor specifications (Appendix C) for the resolutions supported by this monitor.
