Light Emiting Diode Display
Light Emiting Diode displays are other wise known as LED Displays. They help to make a smaller lighter and more efficient display. It uses backlighting to display on the screen. It is commonly confused with LCD screens as well because the only difference is the type of backlighting they use. LCD screens use Cold Cathode Flourescent Lighting for its display as opposed to LED lighting.

VGA ports
VGA ports are 15 pin connectors from the computer to the monitor. This is still used today as a basic way to power the display. It is only capable of a 2048 by 1536 pixels which is sub par by todays standards. It was designed by IBM and each pin is used to communicate a certain thing from the computer to the monitor.

Liquid Crystal Display
Liquid Crystal displays are more commonly known as LCD displays. They were originally used because of the lower powerr consumption. They are also lighter and take up less space than other screen types. This also caused it to be more expensive and it is commonly used in laptops.

4K Resolution
4K resolution is a recent trend that makes a much higher quality display. It has an aspect ratio of 16:9 and it has 4 times the number of pixels as 1080p. It outputs video at 3840x2160 pixels and ithis causes colors to be much more vibrant and detailed. This also causes it to be power hungry and not nearly as efficient as other displays. The cost also much more expensive because it is new technology.
