                        FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD? A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed of the electron beam is swept from the top to the bottom of the  screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to control each individual pixel and the  refresh rate is therefore not really applicable to LCD technology.  Q: Will the LCD screen be resistant to scratches? A: A protective coating is applied to the surface of the LCD, w

                        FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) Q: How do LCDs compare to CRTs in terms of radiation? A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount of radiation at the screen surface.

                        FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active matrix has a transistor located  at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an  active matrix display can be switched on and off more frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer  will appear to move more smoothly across the screen, for example). The passive matrix LCD has a g

                        FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) A: Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different from that of a CRT monitor --  and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to usually undetectable luminance  caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the  human eye occurs when the on/off action of the fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of
