DVD was developed to replace CD
(compact disk). Although the shape and
size of the disc are the same as that of
a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least
.7GB while the capacity of a CD is
600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS
(analog) video and supports MPEG
compression and digital audio. To play a
DVD, a DVD drive is required.

LAN
(Local Area Network)
A communications network connecting
computers, printers and other devices
within a local area such as within a
building. A LAN enables all connected
devices to interact with other devices
on the network. The current LAN uses
the Ethernet media access control
method developed in the early 180s.
To connect to an Ethernet, a network
card called a LAN card, Ethernet card
or network interface card is required.
To exchange data between computers,
a protocol is required besides the
hardware equipment. Windows XP uses
TCP/IP as the default protocol.
LCD
(Liquid Crystal Display)
There are Passive Matrix and Active
Matrix LCD types. This computer uses
the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT
LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by
transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube
unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And
because it does not blink, it reduces eye
strain.
