POWER MANAGEMENT CIRCUITRY
Power conservation features reduce ene
rgy consumption when the computer system is idle. Look for the Energy Star logo.
PICTURE TUBE
A monitor's CRT contains the electron gun that sends beams of electrons, controlled by deflection circuitry, through the shadow mask to create an image on the phosphor screen.
EMISSION SHIELD
Shields provide additional protection against VDT emissions. Look for products offering Sweden's MPR-II or TCO levels of protection.
CABLING
You'll need power and video cables longer than 5 feet to provide flexibility in placing monitors in the workspace. Take measurements of your workspace before purchasing a large monitor and make sure the wiring setup will be convenient and safe.
BNC CONNECTORS
In monitors with high horizontal scanning frequencies, BNC connectors provide shielding between the video input and the signal lines.
Flexible C++

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
