Tell Me More: Flat LCD Screens

Flat LCD screens have become the industry standard for interactive kiosks, modern PC monitors, and illuminated signs. Businesses appreciate their high quality, thin form factor, and lightweight design. LCD displays take up less desk or floor space and they last much longer than the clunky CRT screens of years past. And the price has dropped considerably over the years allowing more and more companies to take advantage of the technology.

You can use flat LCD screens to provide high quality presentations for your business and brilliant visuals for employee training, trade show displays, and conferences. The bright picture makes flat LCD screens easy to watch and immune to annoyances like flickering. LCD displays perform under intense light so the picture doesn’t get washed out or lost in glare. You’ll also find LCD technology in pressure-sensitive locations such as airplanes and high-altitude regions like Colorado.

One of the biggest benefits to using flat LCD screens for your business is their long lifespan. LCD displays last far longer than archaic CRT screens and are more durable than plasma screens. You can use LCD screens regularly for over three years – equating to over 60,000 hours of use. They are also energy efficient. An LCD display uses 60% less energy than CRTs and less electricity than plasma screens.

Unlike plasma technology, flat LCD screens aren’t susceptible to burn in. This means that displaying the same images on your screen for a long period of time will not reduce the effectiveness and color accuracy of your screen. Contrast ratios, the measure of black shades vs. whites in a display, can reach 800:1 on LCD displays and newer models can achieve 3,000:1 ratios, similar to the ratios for plasma screens.

Mounts are available to hang flat LCD screens just about anywhere. One of the advantages of flat screen monitors is their versatility – you can adjust the mount to tilt the screen in various angles.
