I have a CRT monitor for my desktop computer. I plan to replace it with an LCD monitor by the end of this year. I am changing more for the Green IT reasons as an LCD monitor uses less electricity than CRT monitors. Cheers! Ram

LCD is much more better because it displays more clear and it is not that harmful in our eyes compare to crt. The one that we are using in our office its all lcd.

Yep it does feel easy on the eye. When I used to have a CRT I remember using a anti glare thingy!

Yes, that glare thing attached to the monitor to protect our eyes makes the screen sometime blurry. I am thankful that LCD have invented at least its more convenient for those who is staying infront on the pc for a long time.

I use a LCD Monitor, the only reason I used to use a CRT was because it was brighter but that has become less of an issue because the LCD have become just as bright as CRT's

Of course,i alway use the LCD monitor , because it is not bad for my eyes ,since i am nearsighted , i must be . but the other people around me , they don't want to pay so much money ,so they buy the CRT for inexpensive ,just cost about $11.8

I too use a LCD monitor and its better than old CRT monitor as its display is clear and rich and also it consumes less power than CRT monitor. So, LCD monitor are a better choice. Also they consume less space than the CRT monitor. But as the newer technology overcomes the older one, the present LCD technology will be soon replaced by the newer technology, and that is LED screen. Samsung,Sony like companies have launched their LED monitors in the market nad their response is good too. But the price is a bit higher than LCD monitors but within a few years, this will be a common thing.

I heard of them too. Looks good.They do things better in some fields than LCD. Problem as you mentioned is the cost. When that goes down perhaps it will become as common as the LCD.

using LCD is way much more better than CRT. It's like taking when step into the future using LCD and one step back if you are using CRT. LCD saves space and energy plus it does not strain your eye to much compared to CRT. Plus, LCD last way much more longer....well actually it depends on what brand you buy. If your thinking bout getting LCD or CRT, don't think and just get LCD..=)

LCD is the new way , and I am happy that a lot of people r using the smarter thing. Electricity is a valuable resource and we should conserve it.

Hi there. I am using an LCD monitor. It is more energy saving and has less damage to the eyes. I used to get eye strains when exposed to prolonged use of CRT monitors that's why I bought an LCD which is much easier to the eyes.

I think the LCD are better - lighter weight and they use less energy. However, at home I am still using crts because the ones I have are still working well and I don't believe in replacing something that is still doing a good job just because something better comes out. When our crt monitors fail, then we will replace them with LCDs.

they both radiated and I will probably wait for new innovations that are environmentally friendly and also good for health. Maybe this time, I still use CRT. Therefore, we should see the LCD in the middle of the screen if you see it downward or upward will look like a photo negative.
