Monitor Basics - LCD vs. CRT

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stack-'em-up dept.

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 know the answer to your question but I refuse to answer you because you're an iPod whore.

    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.
