LCD v/s TFT

[purujitb]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if there is any difference between a LCD monitor and a TFT LCD monitor, as some manufacturers describe their monitors as LCD and some as TFT.

LCD- Liquid Crystal Display
TFT- Thin Film Transistor

tft manufacturing cost is high;failure rate is high(dead pixels)

I don't think that TFT will consume more power than LCD. It's a myth !
