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.

Actually, these beginner guides and technology simplified articles are handy for us geeks to have.
Presenting facts and information to the layman can be a difficult task, and its good for us to see how its done.

Instead of us all saying something like "let me try try to explain it" to a family member or friend, you can direct them to an article written with them in mind, and with enough information to answer most of their queries.

Re:Health Issues

5 months later, I found myself having trouble shaking off common colds, and my appetite went down hill. People should be aware of the health issues, not just specs.

I'm not trying to troll here, but maybe... just maybe.... those health issues aren't from sitting around in front of 5 CRTs necessarily, but maybe years of just sitting around, period.

Exercise improves your health and your appetite.
