Several details should be taken into consideration when buying a computer monitor. Maybe this is not important to you, but it is important for those who search only for the best from their electronic devices; and here I am referring to the level of the black color that appears on the screen.

Other important elements that you have to take very seriously are: the aspect ratio, the brightness, contrast ratio, display ports, DVI, HDMI, the input lag, the ergonomic options, the resolution, the memory card readers, the USB ports, the audio, the viewing angle, the possibility of connecting the computer monitor to an HDTV and that’s about it. These details at which you have to be attentive are not only available on the LCD monitors, but also on the LED monitors.

Let’s present some information about the elements that I have just named. I have read an article on CNET.com, a guide that allows you to take the best decision and buy the perfect computer monitor for your computing needs. And that article inspired me to also write an article about the things that you have to take into consideration when buying a computer monitor. I will start with the aspect ratio and I am pretty sure that I will end this article with the aspect ratio element as well, just as I started this article, because there are many things to say about this topic. But don’t worry, we have a full week ahead of us and I will write about computer monitors every single day. The aspect ratio of a computer monitor is usually of 16:9, but we can encounter aspect ratios of 4:3. It is reported that this type of aspect ratio is encountered on tablet computers or smartphones or better said on portable devices that allow the users to surf the Internet. The aspect ratio of a mobile device does not provide a better performance in terms of navigating the Internet, nevertheless, the sites that are created taking into consideration this aspect ratio of the mobile devices are better seen by the exact mobile devices that have an aspect ratio of 4:3. I hope I have made myself clear with this.

But what does the aspect ratio mean? When you look at the dimensions of the tablet computer or the computer monitor that you want to buy, always look at the width and height. The proportion between those two create the aspect ratio, in other words the most common proportion between width and height is of 16:9. You have to divide these two numbers and see what is the result; at the same time divide the number of inches that represent the width by the number of inches that represent the height. You should be able to receive the same result. In the last years, there have been created many computer monitors that have an aspect ratio of 16:10. The 16:10 aspect ratio is encountered mostly on widescreen displays. The 16:9 aspect ratio is largely associated to the 1080 pixel resolution. The engineers desire to create the computer monitors similar to the TVs that can render images in high-definition.
