The big, bold graphics and crisp, infinite details of the monitors will change the way you use your computer, from mundane tasks like surfing the Web to engrossing experiences like graphics-intensive gaming and Full UHD movies and video. EVERYTHING will look multiple times better with a super high resolution monitor.
What is the Best Monitor to Meet Your Needs?
When shopping for a new computer monitor or display, you might be overwhelmed by all the choices of display types. Don't worry, CompSource can help you make sense of the various kinds of monitors, whether you're looking for a PC monitor or a Mac-compatible monitor. You will also need to know what type of connection your computer has, VGA, HDMI, DVI, Display port, etc. Will you want some built-ins like speakers, microphone, webcams and USB hubs.
Monitor Display Types
Many monitors use a liquid-crystal, or LED displays. This type of computer screen produces a quality image and can do so at a competitive price. Light-emitting diode, or LED and Edge LED monitors are LCD monitors, but they use backlighting to produce even brighter, more vibrant images, all while consuming less power in a thinner design than basic LCD computer monitors.
If you like your iPad or iPhone you will love a monitor with in-plane switching, IPS monitors take things to the next level with wider viewing angles, more precise colors, and darker blacks than even the best LCD and LED computer monitors. These models are a perfect choice if your work and play finds you editing photos or enjoying video games.
Touchscreen Computer Monitors
Another option to think about are monitors supporting touchscreen capability. These are perfect for home entertainment and using a computer with kids. Swipe effortlessly through images, launch programs with the touch of a finger, or enjoy addictive touch-based gaming. If you do decide on a touch-screen monitor, focus on models with stands that can easily be adjusted and that have glass that extends all the way to the edge. Don't forget your screen protectors and cleaning kits to keep your touch-screen monitor clean and protected.
Digital Signage
Digital signage is a sub-segment of monitors. Digital displays use technologies such as LCD, LED, projection and e-paper to display digital images, video, web pages, weather data, restaurant menus, or text. They can be found in public spaces, transportation systems, museums, stadiums, retail stores, hotels, restaurants and corporate buildings etc., to provide way-finding, exhibitions, marketing and outdoor advertising.
Whiteboards
Interactive Whiteboards have a variety of features to enhance your meetings and presentations. Easy USB connectivity to a PC or Mac computer allows you to bring audiovisual content from your computer to a public audience through the use of a connected projector. Show videos, presentations, web pages and documents with ease. Many interactive whiteboards allow you to modify content with the simple touch of a fingertip. Some models allow you to write on the surface via dry-erase markers or with an electronic pen that functions similar to a computer mouse, allowing you to make changes to a document without having to go back to the computer.

I bought the HP 5550DTN Color Laser Printer from CompSource in March/05. Was terrified to spend that much money with an online merchant that I was completely unfamiliar with. But their low price and excellent ratings compelled me to take a chance. Awesome customer service. Placed the order on the phone because I really wanted to make sure my product was in stock. My customer service person, Steve, was courteous, reassuring and helpful. JackscommentMore Reviews
