What does TFT mean when talking about LCD monitors?

a LCD (Liquid Crystal Diode) based display panel/screen using Thin Film Transistors (TFT), transistor, a kind of tiny electronic Component that switch ON/OFF to glow the diodes( another tiny electronic component) which produces lights in different colors. they are very small inn size that represent a pixel ( the smallest display area of any monitor screen). Toy can go ahead to buy any TFT monitor which suits your requirements.

well it stands for Thin Film Transistor and is a "is a liquid crystal display found on notebook computers and flat panel displays"

a monitor is made up of a pixel elements so science 101, a pixel is a picture element that is capable of displaying one of three colours based on the human mammalian eye system so red, green and blue. all pixels have to be controlled and in the case of tft that is thin film transistor system for a type of monitor that may display millions of colours. there all sorts of transistors thyristors light dependant resistors that control street lights and so on, the particular type will depend on the application that its intended for. more over the pixels are all about voltage unlike the old cathode ray tube system that used electron guns and scan by line phase systems using a scan coil and a focus pack at the back of the vacuum tube. the number of colours that can be produced is based on the ability of the graphics chip and the amount of colours that a pixel group can hold is 256. so we know that if you have 256x256x256 you would get, 16,777,216.0 million colours and if you use 8 bytes you can work out fairly easy how much memory would be required. in colour screens that would be 24 bit, but there are 32 bit and 48 bit versions. so what does all that actually mean? ok, in the 24 bit system it means that you have 3 bytes or 6 nibbles in that if you had a land map the bits would be laid out in a line as follows: red red red red red red red red green green green green green green green green blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue. and bit positions would be: 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 1 4 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 as in binary you count from right to left using the base or basal 2 number substitution system. so each colour corresponds to a bit place. a byte is 8 bits or 8 binary places. an 8 bit is also called a 'word.' and has a value of 2 nibbles or 2x4bits. hope that helps!
