What is a TFT Monitor?

A TFT monitor uses thin-film transistor technology for the
ultimate LCD display. LCD monitors, also called flat panel
displays, are replacing the old style cathode ray tubes (CRTs)
as the displays of choice. Nearly all LCD monitors today use TFT
technology.
The benefit of a TFT monitor is a separate, tiny transistor for
each pixel on the display. Because each transistor is so small,
the amount of charge needed to control it is also small. This
allows for very fast re-drawing of the display, as the image is
re-painted or refreshed several times per second.
Prior to TFT, passive matrix LCD displays could not keep up with
fast moving images. A mouse dragged across the screen, for
example, from point A to point B, would disappear between the
two points. A TFT monitor can track the mouse, resulting in a
display that can be used for video, gaming and all forms of
multimedia.
A typical 17-inch TFT monitor has about 1.3 million pixels and
1.3 million transistors. That leaves a significant chance for a
malfunctioning transistor or two on the panel. Upon delivery, a
TFT monitor can have "dead pixels" for this reason. A dead pixel
is a pixel whose transistor has failed, thereby creating no
display image. On a solid black background, dead pixels will
stand out as tiny dots of red, white or blue. Most manufacturers
will not replace a TFT monitor that has less than 11 dead
pixels. Often, a TFT monitor won't have any dead pixels —-
always the hope for any buyer, though dead pixels are not
noticeable unless located in a critical position on the screen.
There are only a handful of TFT factories that turn out panels
for all brands of TFT monitors. Since there is a given failure
rate -- considering how many transistors are on each panel --
only so many of the displays come out bearing no dead pixels,
while a certain percentage bear an acceptable number of dead
pixels and other panels are unusable. The panels that bear some
dead pixels are often sold to be used in discount models. If
looking for a TFT monitor, it is a good idea to read feedback
provided by buyers at popular online retail sites. By scanning
the reviews for several brands, it is easy to get a feel for
which models have consistently good panels that rarely bear dead
pixels.
A TFT monitor delivers crisp text, vibrant color and an improved
response time for multimedia applications. If interested in
gaming, video editing or other multimedia applications, look for
a TFT monitor with a response rate of 16ms or less.
