On say like a TV like the Samsung Xl2370 for example. What kind of speed and ram would a LCD like that have? How do they process information. I've tried to google but no luck

What are you talking about? its just a 23" monitor.

Are you asking how a TV works? And one simple google search lead me here. http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/office/monitors/premium/LS23EFPKFKD/ZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=spec

The monitor has to have a brain to tell it how to process the data. The pixels don't automatically know by themselves. My question is how strong is a standard LCD monitor computer? It does a CPU inside to tell it how to process the data quickly right?

Well a GPU does all the work, and just relays the data monitor's "CPU", which in turn, turns a pixel on or off, and what colour.

oh boy...let me help you you connect your monitor to computer. Your computer sends information to your monitor and tells it what to show via VGA cable or HDMI cable. The monitor has no processor or ram. The hdmi cable and vga cable transfers information fast enough to the monitor to display it immediately rated by its Response Time. Simply put, your LCD monitor has no video processor and it has no ram.

This, If your Monitor had a Video processor and Ram they'd be so much more expensive, and you'd have to replace them so much more often... I dont even want to know how much a 30" LCD with a 5890 in it would cost, lol.

How do you explain the monitor's on screen menu? The monitor needs to generate the graphics and process the button presses. Also I do believe my HP monitor does have RAM because it remembers my VGA calibration until it loses power; what type of memory other than RAM will forget settings when power is lost? Also I would like to know how color temperature is changed if there is nothing that processes the DVI/VGA/etc. signal. And can you explain dynamic contrast without any type of processor? I realize the processing unit's speed and RAM size do not matter to the end user because they all get the exact same thing done. Some may have a faster on-screen menu, more settings, or a better refresh rate.

This kind of reminds me of the time I was working with this kid and he thought you had to use DOS to write computer programs. After about 5 minutes of explaining to him the difference between compilers, text editors, operating systems, etc. I realized it was just simply above his head and told him to wait a few years and ask again.

TVs are not computers, they do not have cpus or gpus.

Here is a 6 page article explaining digital TV in depth. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/dtv1.htm

There is also an article about analog TV and how it works. Read that also.

That sounds wrong, there's the OSD, and the fact that lcd monitors have to do processing on the image, hence the input lag.

That article describes mostly on tuning to the right frueqncy for cable and the compression scheme.

There is a processor and there is probably also probably RAM. As Jiggly said, there is video processing going on to adjust the brightness, contrast, sharpness, color etc, if there wasn't, we wouldn't see input lag. That being said, there is probably a microcontroller, probably not very powerful, 16-bit, RISC and low power. There is probably a decoder that interprets incoming data and sends it to a DSP chip (digital signal processing) that is tailored for video applications. I believe ATI at some point offered chips specifically for this purpose. RAM, I would hope there is enough to to hold a whole frame, or enough data to perform the filters it requires, and in the case of monitors with 120Hz and 240Hz, several frames to perform interpolation for that smooth video crap that I hate. So yes, they have a processor, probably more than one, and RAM.
