Chapter 16. Displays

PCs use one of two display technologies: a traditional "glass bottle" CRT monitor or a flat-panel display (FPD) that uses LCD technology. Although traditional CRTs remain dominant, FPDs are gaining ground fast. This chapter covers both technologies and tells you what you need to know to select and use the best display for your needs.
