Re: Why the 2001FP over a 19\'\' CRT?

How is the LCD better?

- Super razor-sharp text, at 1600x1200. Most CRTs at that resolution are a little on the fuzzy side, especially the cheaper ones.
- No flicker whatsoever. This, combined with the first point, means you can stare at your monitor for hours with absolutely no eye strain. It's like reading off a very well lit piece of paper.
- Thin and lightweight. Believe me, lug a 20" or 21" monitor around a couple times, and that alone will be worth the money. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
- CRTs put out radiation, the long-term effects of which are still uncertain.
- Somewhat less power consumption. Although the 2001 is a bit power-hungry, so it doesn't save you all that much on the power bill vs. CRT.
- They just look cool!
There are probably other advantages I'm missing.
