what is the difference between "LCD" & "CRT" monitors?

Answer 1

Conventional computer systems have used cathode ray tube (CRT) technology for the computer display. However, in the past decade technological advances in thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have made this an increasingly popular technology.

Modern LCDs can offer several advantages over CRTs in terms of visual work performance, space and energy savings.

Visual search times for text targets embedded in a screen of text are 22% faster for LCDs than CRTs, and also faster for low contrast, small characters.

Eye fixation times are 9% shorter and 15% fewer eye fixations are needed to read the same information from an LCD versus a CRT

Visual search error frequency is 22% less when reading from an LCD than a CRT

LCDs have been shown to allow for greater postural variety during computer work.

LCDs eliminate geometric image distortions and flicker

so choose a LCD and not CRT monitor

Answer 2

CRT pros:

- Good color range - better than LCD
- Brighter than LCD
- Have good response time
- Support resolutions much better

CRT cons:

- Consume More power
- Generate more heat
- Lose their display geometry as they age
- are large and heavy


LCD pros:

- Thin and Light
- consume Less power and generate less heat
- Maintain their visual geometry throughout their lifespan
- Have good contrast quality
- Have decent to good response time

LCD cons:

- Lower resolutions reducess the sharpness of the display
- Not as suitable for bright environments
- Tend to have fragile screens (not all)
- 'Dead Pixels' cannot be repaired once dead.
- Shorter operating lifespan



I'd pick an LCD over a CRT for almost all applications.

Answer 3

LCDs are the small flat ones, while CRT are the giant old fashion ones. LCD have much higher picture quality, and grow dim as they age rather than start flickering, making them have a much longer usable life span.

Don't get a CRT monitor, you will regret it later.

Answer 4

crt monitors are much thicker then a lcd monitor, crts display a better picture, but are very large.

Answer 5

well of course the letters l,d,r,t because they both have the letter c. Other than the obvious, liquid crystal displays are a screen made of...well you wont believe this...but liquid crystals! The liquid crystals are electrified to make the display so the panels are flat. Cathode ray tube displays have a ray gun similar to flash gordon and they shoot little shots of light down the vaccum tube to make the display you see. The cathode controls the electricity to the ray gun. these displays are much deeper like the old displays because they need room to shoot the ray gun. Basically flat versus deep.

Answer 6

it truly is larger, yet in terms of pixels, there could be a distinction. In maximum 22", the pixel decision is going to 1680x1050. besides the incontrovertible fact that, in maximum 24" video reveal instruments, their decision could be 1080x1920. this is the reason there is any such distinction in value between 22" and 24" video reveal instruments. in case you're doing photos and movies, i'd advise getting the 24" because of the better decision.
