LCD monitors used in industrial applications need to be purchased only after careful research and consideration of the required features. It involves quite a major investment in order to buy an industrial LCD monitor. It is therefore almost imperative to make a list of requirements. It’s also important to get an idea about the major manufacturers in the field that have a significant role to play in the market.
Another important factor, which one has to decide, is whether to go for an LCD with a flat display or a Touch Screen LCD. However, at this juncture the advantages of a touch screen LCD monitor do tip the scales a bit in its favor.
Advantages of touch screen industrial LCD monitors:
Touch screen technology has been playing a great role since the early 1970s. It has also become extremely popular in all these years. It is indeed a key asset in the field of industrial computing as it offers quite a number of advantages over its conventional counterparts. The fact that touch screen monitors act as an input device as well as an output device, makes it even more viable. One does not have to ask for a separate mouse, monitor or a keyboard while using a Graphical User Interface. It is so because the Touch Screen monitor does the work of all three. In industrial applications, touch screen LCD monitors are more durable and they are also often resistant to dirt, oil, grease, etc., which prevail in these environments.
While selecting a touch screen LCD monitor, it is really important to remember in which application it would be used, where it would be placed and of what size the monitor needs to be.
The big players in the market:
The big guns in the market are Sony, Samsung, Dell, and a few others. Samsung has a range of industrial monitors of SyncMaster series which are based on the technology known as TFT active-matrix display technology. The monitors are available in diagonal sizes of 15 inches to 46 inches. The buyers can choose from as many as 124 different models which come in great viewing details, vibrant colors and clear picture details.
Dell has more than 12 different models of LCD monitor that range from diagonal sizes of 15 inches to 24 inches. Like Samsung, these models are also based on TFT active matrix display. Their resolutions range from 1280×1024 to 1600×1200.
Sony has more than 70 different types of LCD monitors; with more than 15 varieties with different diagonal sizes. Apart from anything else, these LCD monitors are soft on eyes and do not cause eyestrain.

Help answer the question about LCD Monitor
How do you reduce monitor glare on an LCD screen?I just purchased a 22" Acer LCD monitor and I just figured how to let the monitor auto-adjust itself to my liking. However, there is still a "glare" to it that makes images more fuzzy. It really doesn't bother me, but it could be sharper- and it's a tad too bright. Would buying a privacy/anti-glare filter for my monitor help?
There is no source of light nearby, the glare is coming from the monitor itself!

A MONITOR does not have a built in tuner…
That's the ONLY difference between the same model…
They are great if you know you'll be connected to Satellite or Cable and using their HD Set top boxes for the next 10 – 15 years.
If you're unsure, get the TV.
If it was harmful to the eyes, do you think they would be allowed to sell it?

There are numerous differences between lcd monitors and lcd tv sets today. The biggest difference is resolution. LCD monitors have way higher resolution than HDTVs. Most consumer HDTVs max out at 1920×1080 pixels (1080p aka "full HD") while common monitors with screen sizes 24-30" are capable of 1900×1200 or even 2560×1600 (that's way more resolution than your common 1080p tv set). Basically, LCD monitors have better pixel pitch since they have a lot more pixels at a much smaller screen size (compare a 1920×1080 50" with a 2560×1600 resolution 30" monitor).
Next is panel technology. Most manufacturers of LCD monitors use TN panels, while almost all LCD tvs use something like MVA (not sure about ips). Basically, TN is cheap and the monitors reflect this in their prices. TN gives fast response times while MVA/IPS allows excellent color reproduction as well as preventing colors from shifting when viewed at an angle. However, there are many mva/ips LCD monitors too, it's just that they're usually much much more expensive.
LCD monitors also usually do not have tv tuners but some, like the samsung T240HD do come with a buil-in tuner and a remote control.
Before buying, try to research first on the LCD tv's input lag and response times, since these will be the factors most readily apparent in everyday computer use.

It's easy if you have a digital HD cable box– You simply connect the DVI or HDMI output on the digital HD cable box directly to that monitor. No need to buy a TV tuner card in that case.
October 2nd, 2009 on 5:44 pm
HDMI is good, but expensive. DVI will give you the same result for a lot less.
Refresh rates are going to be about the same for every brand. However, some top of the line have 240 Hz rates – very good.
Resolution: 1920×1200 is HD widescreen.
Contrast of 1000:1 or better.
Response: 5 ms or less
Dot Pitch: 0.28 or less
Brightness: 300 cd at a bare minimum, get the highest.

i recommend Samsung Touch Of Color T220HD 22-inch LCD HDTV Monitor.
Touch of Color bezel – While the crystal-like bezel frame catches light beautifully, it actually reduces reflection of light off the bezel. And since the rich red color is injection molded for a blown glass effect, instead of spray painted, there is less environmental impact. It's easy on your eyes as well as on the environment
Dolby Digital Surround (3 W x 2 ch) An invisible speaker system with Dolby Digital Surround (3 W x 2 ch) gives sound quality to match the impressive picture.
10,000 – 1 Dynamic-Contrast Ratio – The ultra-wide range gives you blacks and whites that are full of detail, even under adverse lighting conditions (typically 1,000 – 1 static-contrast ratio)
300 cdm2 Brightness
Full HDTV monitor – The T220HD features a built-in full HD 1080p digital HDTV tuner, so you can watch both TV and HDTVDual HDMI inputs, DVI and VGA inputs / 2 HDMI connections

Large format monitors are normallly used for public displays. The resolution is lower than monitors normally used for pcs. This makes text and images larger because the pixels aren't as close together.

There are many ways to kill glare while using an LCD screen;
1. Sun light is the mother of all glares. Make sure you face your monitor opposite from the direction the sun is comming from, which is in most cases, the window.
2. Do not have any lights near or shining directly onto the Monitor.
Good luck!

Sounds like you need just a regular LCD monitor, the only time someone needs a HD Monitor is if they are gaming, also watching TV if it has a built in tuner or advanced video or photo editing.
