What is the difference between TFT & STN?

TFT == Thin Film Transistor - is a technology for building LCD screens. TFTs are brighter and more readable than LCDs , but cost more and consume more power. TFT is also known as AMLCD, or Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display.

STN == Super Twist Nematic - a long long time ago, researchers discovered that the more twisted the molecules were in a liquid crystal display, the better the contrast produced.

Typically STN type displays are passive (I think), so ideally you'd prefer a TFT type LCD.
