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.
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
Typical, a story about monitors comes along, and mine decides to censor it.

And now, what was described as a quick and useful overview of LCD vs. CRT displays, has become neither.
Anybody else see the irony in this?

I want to tell you about the differences between direct current and alternating current and why direct current should be used as the standerd for the United States Power grid.....

I know the answer to your question but I refuse to answer you because you're an iPod whore.
I hate you.
Do you have a big desk?
Buy a CRT.
Spend the rest on booze and hookers.
Do you have limited space and/or need to move around.
Buy a LCD.
Pay for booze and hookers with a credit card.

How do my fellow Slashdotters recycle their old CRTs?
Out the window, then drop a mallet on it (literally, out the same window), repeatedly, until the screen with the metal frame around it is the only part remaining, and the rest is pulverized. The screen will be the only part remaining, because it's a half-inch thick glass, as opposed to the wimpy glass in the back part of the tube, and the cheap plastic that the rest of the thing is made out of. Then take the screen, line it with a doormat, and ride it off snowy hill. Glass has a really small friction coefficient against snow.
Don't try this at home:-)

Wow... who came up with that name? I'll give it a shot.

I'd like to thank you for requesting this 23 inch LCD monitor. We have 6 months of Quality Assurance testing to ensure that it is compatible with our highly specialized Dell Computer Terminals.

Ugh. Just tried the tuner applet, and it still doesn't have any settings other than 'really blurry'.
There's the 'really blurry with multi-coloured edges' setting, the 'really blurry with big thick fonts' setting, etc.
but no 'non-blurry' setting, other than switching it off.
