How to Buy a Monitor

In this exercise you will come up with a buyers guide to monitors. You will use a typical monitor ad as the basis of your buyers guide. Your goal is to make the myriad of terms understandable to a non-technical consumer.

Find an add for an LCD monitor. Copy the URL and price for the monitor to a word document. The shopping section of the computer repair links page may be helpful here.

Copy the specs and an image of the monitor to the document.

Discuss each specification indicating what the spec means in terms that are understandable to an average non-technical person. You should have at least 5 specs that you describe in laymans terms.

Write a conclusion indicating why you would or would not choose to purchase this monitor.
