I have a LCD Monitor now for one year and I am very satisfied with it. Before I had two CRT monitors and they did not last long. They used up so much space. My work place looks so much nicer now. I am really happy with the LCD I got now. It has a silver rim and is big, 19 inch.

Everybody has Benq here but they are out of business now. My LCD is a "World of Vison" made in Asia. It was cheaper than the others but it is really good.

we are using a crt monitor. we will be switching to lcd soon. the lcd monitors are friendlier to the eyes. they are cool to use whereas, the crt ones are much too glaring. my eyes gets so tired after an hour at the computer.

I will suggest you go for ViewSonic or Samsung. Samsung is in the market for a long time and ViewSonic was once the best brand here about 5-6yrs back and now they have come back.....

I have a CRT monitor which takes up space on my computer desk. I would like to get an LCD monitor, but I don't have the money for it right now. I didn't go for the CRT monitor, it wasn't my choice. In my house, our computer mainly have CRT monitors. Only 3 people in my house have flat screens and they are so thin that they barely take up space on computer desks. You could fit your LCD monitor nice and up against the wall with your keyboard in front.

I use a crt monitor because it better for gaming than an lcd monitor. CRT monitors have narrower pixel width leading to better clarity and colors.

I have a 15" Compaq 5500 that carries a Coloreal mark. I want to sell it and go for an LCD. I've seen LCDs and find 'em cool. But will I be able to see the true colors on LCD as I can see now on my CRT? I've seen other CRTs also but they do not produce colors as true as my monitor.

Yes of course.... LCDs and CRTs in market to day cannot be differentiated by the way they produce colors. They all are brilliant. And i think your friend is not using a proper color profile for the monitor or he has a bit faulty monitor.....

I just change my computer set, i am using LG 19" Widescreen LCD. I choose the LCD screen because it is slim ,tidy ,stylist and clearer since i use DVI cable for this LCD screen. Another thing is it's less radiation.

I will prefer to go with Philips. LG's couple of CRT models had some problem. Althoguh i am not sure how LG will be in LCD market, you can trust Philips rather than any other manufacturer. You do have other options like BenQ as well.

I recommend 17 or 19 inch because LCD's price has fallen much and most of the new games and website will work and look best on a 1024x768 resolution screen and a 15inch monitor will have resolution of 800x600. Unlike CRT monitor, resolution of LCD screens cannot be changed. Actually it can be changed, but the screen will not be readable then. So go for a 17 inch lcd.
