When you hear LCD (liquid crystal display), you see
a lot of numbers following a dollar sign. Big names like
Samsung, Viewsonic and numerous other manufacturers are beginning to
roll out flat LCD based monitors to the masses. One
manufacturer who has been dealing with a lot of OEM and now retail
monitor solutions is EPI. We got a chance to take a look at one of their 15
inch models, the EN-5100.
The EN-5100 is an active matrix thin film
transistor (TFT). Thin film transistor was pioneered by Peter
Brody back in the 70's. To break it down into layman's terms,
here is how most common LCDs differ from CRTs. Each individual
pixel on an LCD screen receives an individual voltage as opposed to a
'sweeping' method utilized by a CRT. This results in a sharper
and vibrant image on an LCD screen. Hope I got that right, if
not someone enlighten me : ) It has come a long way to being an
affordable solution in comparison to conventional CRT displays.
Here are some specs on the EN-5100 (taken
