There are three main types of monitors: the CRT, or Cathode Ray Tube monitor, the LCD Flat Panel monitor, and the TFT-LCD monitor.

Each has their own advantages. To learn more about the different types of monitors, just click on any of the links:

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Monitor

This is the most inexpensive monitor in the market today. It sports quite a large case, which includes the flat/funnel tubes that displays the images on the screen.

Pixels, made up of phosphors, are the tiny components that make up the image shown onscreen. These pixels are struck by electrons, which make the pixels glow and eventually form the desired image on the screen.
