LCD Monitors Vs CRT Monitors

CRTs are better than LCDs because:

• They cost less.
• They display more colors.
• They react faster and can display moving images without smearing or artifacts.
• They use emissive technology, which means that they generate their own light, so you can view images from any angle.

LCDs are better than CRTs because:

• They are smaller and lighter.
• They consume less energy.
• The image is crisper because each pixel is displayed by a specific set of liquid crystal cells.
• Eyestrain and fatigue are reduced because there is no flicker.
• While there is no conclusive evidence about the health hazards of low-frequency electromagnetic emissions, LCDs emit much fewer than CRTs.
• Some LCDs pivot, so you can work in landscape or portrait mode.
• LCDs are less prone to interference from other devices, and you can put two side-by-side without encountering problems.
• The image geometry is always perfect.
• The flat face of an LCD tends to reflect less glare than most CRTs.
