*a computer monitor is an ‘output device’ that displays information in ‘pictorial form’*

(a ‘monitor’ usually comprises the…)

‘display device’

‘circuitry’

‘casing’

‘power supply’

(the display device in modern monitors is typically a ‘thin film transistor liquid crystal display’ (TFT-LCD) with ‘LED backlighting’ having replaced ‘cold-cathode fluorescent lamp’ (CCFL) backlighting)

(older monitors used a ‘cathode ray tube’ (CRT))

(‘monitors’ are connected to the computer via…)

‘VGA’

‘digital visual interface’
(DVI)

‘HDMI’

‘displayport’

‘thunderbolt’

‘low-voltage differential signaling’
(LVDS)

(or other proprietary ‘connectors’ + ‘signals’)

(originally, ‘computer monitors’ were used for ‘data processing’ while ‘television sets’ were used for ‘entertainment’)

(from the 1980s onwards, ‘computers’ (and their ‘monitors’) have been used for both ‘data processing’ + ‘entertainment’, while ‘televisions’ have implemented some ‘computer functionality’)

(the common ‘aspect ratio’ of ‘televisions’ + ‘computer monitors’ has changed from 4:3 –> 16:10 –> 16:9)

(‘modern computer monitors’ are easily inter-changeable with ‘conventional television sets’)

(however, as ‘computer monitors’ do not necessarily include ‘integrated speakers’, it may not be possible to use a ‘computer monitor’ without ‘external components’)

*DISPLAY*

(‘1280 x 800’ is minimum display dimensions required to edit in ‘adobe premiere pro’)

(‘1920 x 1080’ or higher is ‘recommended’)

(my ‘15.4 inch macbook’ is ‘1440 x 900’)

(meaning i am operating below ‘recommended’ settings)

(‘intel HD graphics 4000 1536 MB graphics’)

Wat is cheapest basic external display for MacBook pro 2012?
