I made the move to an LCD in 2003 with the NEC 1760NX screen, I used it until two months ago when it started flickering. I recently purchased an NEC 1970GX that is bigger brighter and clearer than my older model. I expect in another two years I'll be upgrading again.

In my family, we have a 12 year old 21" NEC for a desktop PC (bought used and still runs pefect), two 4 year old 15" CRT iMACs, a 6 month old 15" Dell desktop LCD, and two 17" widescreen notebook LCDs (3 year old eMachine and 1 month old Avertec). We are all happy and no one has reported problems.
Why I Still Use A CRT Monitor

Aside From the fact Taht A CRT Only Cost me 20.00 We Know All About Them its Like Comparing Equal To Splenda Equal Has been Around For Many Years We Know About The Side Effects Of It's Indgreidents As To Where Splenda is Very new To People And We Don't Know Anything About It Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRT Monitors Have Been Around For Ages We Know Of It's Radiation & How Much of It The Human Body Can Absorb Over The Course of Years As To The LCD We Only Know What Is Said Because Of The Fact Of This Was Changed That Was Changed Etc.... Yes Just Like Splenda Is Sugar With One Partical Of the Active Indgreident Removed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Radiation on CRT vs LCD
by WornHall - 6/21/06 2:05 AM In reply to: Why I Still Use A CRT Monitor by hippyray69Hey, Hip,
Here is hoping the following information will relieve you of your concerns;
First the summary: The energy used operate an LCD is a small fraction of that for a similar or much smaller CRT.
The CRT aims a high-voltage stream of electrons at the screen from the back of the yoke to brighten the phosphors on the screen. The picture is made by deflecting the stream of electrons in all needed directions to fill the picture and provide color. The high-voltage cage carried 16,500 to 22,500 volts; I have measured sets with 25,500 volts, while X-ray's begin to be generated at 26k!
The LCD on the other hand does not direct any energy at the viewer except in the sense that the set brings the picture to the viewer. It does so by sending a very small current (far less than 12 volts) addressed to each of a one or two million specific pixels along tiny wires imprinted on the back of the screen. Those tiny pixels replace the dots of phospore being hit by 18,000 volts of charged particles. (In spite of how scary the CRT sounds, one can sit comfortably close, for as long as one wants, over years, and will have no effects from screen ratiation.)
There are alternate strategies to LCD, but the same basic strategy is used, always with low voltage. Think how cool some of the led's are when running; that experience gives one an idea of how little power is there. Another experience that all of us have had when wiping the CRT screen, is the warmth of the screen and the strong static electricity that is constantly there. In contrast, the LCD screen has no static, not even to raise a hair on the back of a hand, and the screen and the entire unit is only slightly warm, hardly enough for convection currents. Compare that to placing your hand over the back ducts on a CRT, nearly enough to fry an egg!
For those concerned about ''radiation'' (though the results of these concerns may never be seen), ditch the CRT immediately in favor of LCD or its equivalent.
At least, do switch to lower the electric bill!
Regards, Warren Hall
Other reasons for using a CRT
by tarunkrsna - 6/25/06 11:06 PM In reply to: Why I Still Use A CRT Monitor by hippyray69Hello fellow hippy. A hippy in the new millenium. It WAS a freak out back then in the 60s and 70s.
Whilst I am aware that LCDs are safer, as a web designer and student, I find that unless the LCD is top of the range the display quality is not sufficient to show what a page will look like in any other monitor. The reverse is true with CRTs. If it looks great in a CRT it will probably look great on an LCD.
It's a good idea not to get too close to the CRT, especially if long hours are spent before the screen. A pair of reading glasses can remedy any adverse effects caused by a distant monitor.
We use the LCD screens where I study programming and the word crap does tend to come to mind. Perhaps they are really el cheapo.

What type of computer monitor do you use?

I currently use a 19" Samsung 955DF (flat screen) and I will be switching to an HP f2105, 21" flat-panel LCD monitor shortly.
I am swithcing to a 21" because I do a lot of architectural cad and it is easier to see more detail be for needing to magnify a portion of the drawing, and because I also recently moved my computer operations from corner real estate to a a non corner, I now need more real estate space.
I had the opportunity to buy an LCD at the time I bought present computer set up, but the salesman told me of how fragil the LCD's are, so I didn't opt for one. I wish I would have bought an LCD in the first place, but now that the 21" is out, the point is moot.
I have looked at some 30" LCD's, which would be even better for my operation, but these are not monitors, they are set up as TV's, so I will be upgrading again when a dedicated 30" LCD monitor becomes available..
In the mean time I will be keeping my old CRT monitor and using it as a second monitor for other purposes, as it still works fine since purchase in Jan 2002.

I use a 19" LCD AOC. I replaced a 17" CRT with this. It worked great with no set up othewr than pluging in. I use a MSI 64MB AGP video card. I love it.

Viewsonic 17" SHARPER than LCD!
CRT too, but....
by Kutusov - 6/16/06 7:53 AM In reply to: crt monitor by fpost1929… things look different now. A few years ago, an LCD monitor was a big mistake unless your wallet was loaded and you would only use your computer for web browsing and office applications. I’ve played Unreal Tournament (something…) in one Samsung back then and it was impossible to do it. But now, LCD is much cheaper and it plays just fine. A friend of mine has a widescreen LG and it runs everything you throw at it quiet well. I my self use and old LG CRT Flatron EZ T710BH (17). If you don’t mind the size (and design) you can’t go wrong with this one. No blur, colour aberrations or anything an LCD might suffer. But I think now is the time for us old CRT veterans to consider moving on. If not for anything else, LCD comes in widescreen and that’s a reason strong enough for me.
