Monitor Basics - LCD vs. CRT

Herbal V wrote in with a little article discussing the differences between LCD and CRT. Briefly summarizes all the major issues (Price, Refresh Rate etc). More of a beginner level piece, but as LCD prices are dropping like rocks, it's good to be aware.

Re:What drops?

[imsabbel]

a)I bought a LCD a year ago, now a better one would be 30% cheaper. Thats a price drop.

b)It has, for large ones. open your eyes, moron. (plus do your really think the fact that thoses announcements that were made a FEW MONTHS ago will have any impact on production before 2006 or so? It takes some time to build a fab..)

c)Or not. Idiot.

d) Do you know how much of the price of a notobook is the screen, compared to buying a system from a vendor with a tft bundled? You cant compare apples and oranges. you know. (hint: cheap laptops have CRAP TFTs compared to Desktop TFTs, and the high quality ones of expensive laptops are only ok by desktop standarts (ok, the resolution is higher, a fluke i really hate, but on the desktop there are somehow too many "OMG! The text size would be so small nobody can read anything! We dont want more than 100dpi!" idiots) but those are expensive, too.
