What is the difference between Hd monitor and HDTV?

HD stands for High Definition. This term is misused constantly. HDTV is spesifically a digital TV signal in 720p, 1080i or 1080p. The number refers to the number of horizontal lines that make up the pictuire.

The i stands for an interlaced picture. Essentially the picture is drawn in two steps. First lines 1, 2, 5, 7 etc are drawn, then line 2, 4, 6, 8 are drawn. This gives very detailed and clear image, but could cause some jitter in high speed movement as the two fields in a frame are are slighly out of sync in fast motion.

The p stands for progressive scan. This means that each frame is drawn in one pass. However this also means that it takes twice as long for the image to refresh. In sports it means that each image is sharper and jitter-free, but the motion is not as smooth. Of course the average viewer really doesn't see much of a difference in normal viewing conditions. Double-blind surveys have proven this over and over. The differences are generally only noticed in conditions that most people will never have in their homes. But that is topic for another debate.

Though just about every HDTV on the market now supports 1080p, only some HD divices and specialty satellite and cable channels (not ones one would watch on a regular basis) provide this format.

For reference, standard definition picture on an old style TV was closest to 480i. (Analog 535 lines interlaced)

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Diode.

LCD is one of the most common types of HD TV.

Plasma, DLP (Digital Light Prosessing), CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), and OLED (Organic Light Emiting Diode) are other types of HDTV. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. All provide a fantastic picture when fed a true HD signal.

With an LCD TV (which could be an HD TV or a Standard Definition TV (SDTV)), there is a light source (flourescent, LED, etc) that shines through a liquid crystal display to produce the picture.

Correction: a socket T is a LGA 775 package which means that it has a 775 pin CPU which fit into a 775 contact(not pin receiver) socket on the motherboard. A socket N is a mPGA478B package meaning a 478 pin CPU that will fit in a motherboard with a 478 pin hole receiver socket. ~Yagon~

I don't recommend it. There is some valid arguments concerning heat damage (left on) vs heating and cooling damage (off when not in use), but I don't care about them.

Who invented the USB - the universal serial bus?

It was invented by an israeli company called "M-Systems" and the brand is called "Disk on key"

If you are wondering about USB the Technology:

USB was first released in 1995 by a number of companies including Copmaq, DEC, Microsoft, Intel, NEC and Nortel.

If you are wondering about USB flash drives:

Many companies claim to have invented the USB storage device bit M-Systems was the one to get the patent in 2000.

Trek Technology and IBM began selling the first USB flash drives commercially in 2000.

All Wrong... the M-systems comment is likely talking about the USB Flash Drive commonly known as the USB Thumb Drive. From my research the Universal Serial Bus USB was known about as early as 1994. The only fact about this is that a number of companies teamed up in its creation, Microsoft, Intel, etc. It was officially released January 1996 and put into production February 1996. USB 1.0 was likely invented sometime in 1995.
