These liquid crystals can be thought of like a window shutter.

When the shutter is open, light can easily pass through into the room.

It’s the back of an LCD screen that’s responsible for shining light through the screen.

This allows LCD monitors and TVs to use much less power than CRT ones.

LCD vs LED: What’s the Difference?

LED stands forlight-emitting diode.

The major difference between LCD and LED screens is how they provide backlighting.

If you’re having a hard time understanding this, just consider a dark movie scene as an example.

Not every LED display is capable of dimming the screen locally, like you just read.

It’s usually full-array TV’s (versus edge-lit ones) that support local dimming.

Unlike CRT monitors and TVs, LCD screens don’t have arefresh rate.

Most LCD computer monitors have a connection forHDMIandDVIcables.

Some still supportVGAcables, but that’s much less common.

LCD conditioning solves minor problems that occur on LCD monitors, including persistent images or ghost images.

The process involves flooding the screen or monitor with various colors (or with all white).

Dell includes an image conditioning feature in its LCD monitors.
