When you gain some technical knowledge about your computer, you start raising the bar in matter of its components. Perhaps you become interested in buying a new keyboard, mouse, or monitor.

With the keyboard, it's all about how comfortable your finger are feeling on it. Maybe the keys should be low (like on laptops), or the mouse should be wireless and big enough so you can comfortably grip it.

But when it comes to monitors, things are not so simple. Sure, you may decide upon its size, type (e.g. LCD), or visual appeal, but the internal aspects of it may be more difficult to analyze at first.

That's why a software that can help you in this matter is strongly recommended.
