Monitor Item:

  • Display Technology: Look for suppliers offering the latest in display technology, including LED, IPS, OLED, or QLED panels, depending on your target market.
  • Resolution: Ensure your suppliers can meet demands for Full HD (1080p), 2K, 4K, or even higher resolutions, depending on the intended use of the monitor (e.g., gaming, professional editing, general use).
  • Refresh Rate: Gaming monitors require high refresh rates (120Hz, 144Hz, or higher), while general-use or office monitors may need lower refresh rates (60Hz).
  • Connectivity: Modern monitors need multiple connectivity options like HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, and possibly Thunderbolt for higher-end models.
  • Adjustability: Ergonomics matter—monitors with height-adjustable stands, tilt, swivel, and VESA mounting options can add value.
  • Energy Efficiency: Look for Energy Star certification or equivalent to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.

TV Panels:

  • LCD (Liquid Crystal Display): Widely used, affordable, and energy-efficient, but with lower contrast and less vivid colors compared to newer technologies.
  • LED (Light Emitting Diode): A subtype of LCD panels that use LED backlighting, offering improved brightness and energy efficiency.
  • OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode): High-end panels with better contrast, vibrant colors, and true blacks since each pixel emits its own light.
  • QLED (Quantum Dot LED): Developed by Samsung, these panels offer better color accuracy and brightness than standard LED panels but are more affordable than OLED.
  • Mini-LED and MicroLED: Newer technologies offering improved brightness and color accuracy over traditional LED.

Major Processor:

  • Intel: Known for its range of processors, especially for computing and server products. Intel processors are commonly used in desktop and professional monitor setups.
  • AMD: Competes with Intel, offering both CPUs and GPUs. Their Ryzen and Radeon chips are commonly used in high-performance computing and gaming.
  • Qualcomm: Specializes in mobile and embedded processors, often used in smart devices. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors are common in smart TVs and IoT devices.
  • MediaTek: One of the leading suppliers for smart TVs and other consumer electronics, offering cost-effective processors that support 4K/8K video playback and AI functionalities.
  • Samsung Exynos: Samsung produces Exynos SoCs that power many of its devices, including TVs and smart appliances.
  • NVIDIA: Primarily a leader in the GPU market, NVIDIA is well-known for its GeForce and Tegra processors, which are used in gaming monitors and high-end display technologies.

Motherboard:

  • ASUS: Known for high-quality consumer, gaming, and professional motherboards. Their ROG (Republic of Gamers) series is popular in gaming.
  • MSI: Another leading manufacturer, especially known for gaming motherboards.
  • Gigabyte: Offers a wide range of motherboards, including gaming, high-performance, and budget models.
  • ASRock: A cost-effective brand known for innovation and offering good value for money.
  • Intel and AMD: While these companies are better known for their CPUs, they also provide reference designs and motherboards tailored for specific processors.
  • ATX: The standard form factor for most desktop computers, offering multiple PCIe slots, RAM slots, and plenty of connectivity options.
  • Micro-ATX: A smaller version of ATX, offering fewer expansion slots but often sufficient for home or office PCs.
  • Mini-ITX: A compact form factor used in small-form-factor (SFF) PCs. Ideal for compact builds, but with limited expansion options.
  • Server Motherboards: Designed for data centers and enterprise use, supporting multiple CPUs and large amounts of RAM, with features focused on reliability and network connectivity.
