A computer monitor is an output device that

displays information in pictorial form. A monitor

usually comprises the display device, circuitry,
casing, and power supply. The display device in
modern monitors is typically a thin film
transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) with
LED backlighting having replaced cold-cathode
fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlighting. Older
monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT).
Monitors are connected to the computer via VGA,
Digital Visual Interface (DVI), HDMI,
DisplayPort,Thunderbolt, low-voltage differential
signaling (LVDS) or other proprietary connectors
and signals. Originally, computer monitors were
used for data processing while television sets
were used for entertainment. From the 1980s
onwards, computers (and their monitors) have
been used for both data processing and
entertainment, while televisions have
implemented some computer functionality. The
common aspect ratio of televisions, and computer
monitors, has changed from 4:3 to 16:10, to 16:9.

 The cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube that
contains one or more electron guns and a
phosphorescent screen, and is used to display
images.It modulates, accelerates, and deflects
electron beam(s) onto the screen to create the
images. The images may represent electrical
waveforms (oscilloscope), pictures (television,
computer monitor), radar targets, or other
phenomena. CRTs have also been used as memory
devices, in which case the visible light emitted from
the fluorescent material (if any) is not intended to
have significant meaning to a visual observer
(though the visible pattern on the tube face may
cryptically represent the stored data). In television
sets and computer monitors, the entire front area of
the tube is scanned repetitively and systematically in
a fixed pattern called a raster. An image is produced
by controlling the intensity of each of the three
electron beams, one for each additive primary color
(red, green, and blue) with a video signal as a
reference.[2] In all modern CRT monitors and
televisions, the beams are bent by magnetic
deflection, a varying magnetic field generated by
coils and driven by electronic circuits around the
neck of the tube, although electrostatic deflection is
commonly used in oscilloscopes, a type of electronic
test instrument.

 A flat panel screen that uses
the liquid crystal display
(LCD) technology and
connects to a computer.
Laptops have used LCD
screens almost exclusively,
and the LCD monitor is the
standard display screen for
desktop computers. By 2004,
LCD desktop monitors outsold
the traditional, bulky tube
monitors (see CRT). See LCD,
flat panel display and LCD TV.
LED monitor or LED display
is a flat screen, flat panel
computer monitor or
television.It has a very
short depth and is light in
terms of weight. The actual
difference between this and
a typical LCD monitor is the
backlighting. The first LCD
monitors used CCFL instead
of LEDs to illuminate the
screen.
