A liquid crystal display consists of an array of tiny segments (called pixels) that can be manipulated to present information. This basic idea is common to all displays, ranging from simple calculators to a full color LCD television.
Why are liquid crystal displays important? The first factor is size. As will be shown in the following sections, an LCD consists primarily of two glass plates with some liquid crystal material between them. There is no bulky picture tube. This makes LCDs practical for applications where size (as well as weight) are important.
In general, LCDs use much less power than their cathode-ray tube (CRT) counterparts. Many LCDs are reflective, meaning that they use only ambient light to illuminate the display. Even displays that do require an external light source (i.e. computer displays) consume much less power than CRT devices.
Liquid crystal displays do have drawbacks, and these are the subject of intense research. Problems with viewing angle, contrast ratio, and response time still need to be solved before the LCD replaces the cathode-ray tube. However with the rate of technological innovation, this day may not be too far into the future.

A monitor that uses LCD technologies rather than the conventional CRT technologies used by most desktop monitors. Until recently, LCD panels were used exclusively on notebook computers and other portable devices. In 1997, however, several manufacturers began offering full-size LCD monitors as alternatives to CRT monitors. The main advantage of LCD displays is that they take up less desk space and are lighter. Currently, however, they are also much more expensive

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. It is a technology in which liquid crystals are placed between two layers of transparent plastic sheets. These crystals light up on the application of electricity.
The advantage of these types of monitors are that they can be manufactured in very thin form factors and are easier on the eyes.
The disadvantage is that they are not very clear when not viewed at a 90 degree angle and have a lower color depth than CRT(conventional) monitors

A monitor that uses liquid-crystal display technology. Many laptop and notebook computers use LCD displays because of their low power requirements.

LCD monitors are really thin and a little more expensive. They don't project the image onto a screen like CRT. You can think of a CRT like a TV, it is really deep. LCD is really thin like a plasm TV. I have 3 view sonic LCD 19" monitors that I'm VERY happy with. I will never get another CRT monitor again.

The 450:12 and 500:1 is the contrast ratio. Something that a LCD (liqud Crystal Display) has that a CRT doesnt is the amount of space it tgakes up.
