Within the Broadcasting environment, monitors are used in mobile units, in live broadcasting control rooms and as displays for professional cameras.

They are used for pre-visualisation on TV channels, in companies dealing in equipment hire and in production and post-production audiovisual firms, etc.

This is an increasingly widespread application, even in companies not specialising in this type of business, as the use of digital cameras or specific production software encourages them to design their own material.

LCD monitors already take up a large share of this market, which until know was clearly dominated by the large CRT monitor manufacturers. The latest facilities combine both technologies and the trend is leading towards the progressive replacement of CRT monitors with LCD. The issue of consumption is important, as the use of many pieces of equipment may trigger this to unsuspected levels, although it may be considerably reduced through the use of LCD monitors, which consume less power and give off less heat.

Other advantages of the use of TFT monitors include the saving of space and the possibility of combining different types of inputs: CVBS, data, SDI and HD.
