What is the difference between the various types of laptop screens?

Laptop Screens

Laptop screens vary in size from 12 inches to 17 inches. A laptop can either be purchased with a dual-scan screen or an active matrix screen.

An active matrix screen costs more than having a dual-scan screen, but it is worth every penny. With a dual-scan screen, the picture quality is not as sharp, and there is a noticeable lag with images displayed on this type of screen. However, an active matrix screen compensates for this lag with a sharper picture quality.
