Anti-Reflection Film.
LCD monitors have an anti-reflection coating of clear film that is damaged easily by ammonia-based cleaner. Using paper towels or any wood-based product to clean your LCD screen can damage it so that it appears cloudy and blurry.
Clean your LCD monitor only with approved cleaners–a wipe with Pledge and paper towels may damage it. For best results, turn the monitor off, and then apply wet. (only with water) when cleaning your monitor, be sure to use a lint free cloth. Water can damage an LCD screen, so you should not apply water directly to it.
Screen savers help prevent damage to your monitors when not in use. An average LCD Monitor consist of a metal grid that charges a pixel to allow the desired color to be displayed. LCD monitors are made of plastic which are subject to ghost images when left with one image for too long due to \’burn-in\’. Although it won\’t cause permanent damage, you should still avoid it.
Finally, it is absolutely forbidden to touch your LCD monitor with your bare hands as the pressure applied on the screen will cause damage to the delicate pixels and that in turn would make that pixel turn black and not work.
Images and graphics are generated by a computer, the monitor is the display screen that you look at. The best way to do it is selecting the best from several options. Choosing a monitor is just the first step–you will need to take good care of your new acquisition to enjoy it for a long time.

Help answer the question about LCD Monitor
How to choose the right LCD monitor for gaming?I am going to be using the LCD monitor with my Xbox 360 and I am having difficulties on what I should look for.
I can't seem to figure out what specs I am looking for. Can anyone tell me about which contrast ratio, vertical/ horizontal refresh rates, resolution, and brightness I should look for on an LCD monitor?
Also would it be better with HDMI or no? If possible can you also list a few monitors you would recommend?

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.

LOL, no. Each LCD has a native resolution, but you can certainly use lower resolutions..it will look weird though.

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.
October 19th, 2009 on 8:52 pm
Im buying one that has a 25,000:1 contrast ratio. =)

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
List Price: $679.00

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.

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!
