The difference between a computer monitor and a television

A key difference between a computer monitor and a television is that the latter has its image-processing technology included, whereas a PC screen is reliant on the computer to which it is connected. This is why all these screens were attached to a reference computer, using an eight-way splitter, for simultaneous comparisons.
Current LCD monitors generally have a better resolution than most HD-ready TVs of 1690x1050 pixels. This is so you may read, say, the text within an icon clearly — a common flaw on inferior screens. However, PC screens often lack the ability to handle dark scenes clearly and rarely have the same glossy finish as a TV, as this creates unwanted reflections from the overhead lighting in offices.
