    LCD
    Since crts last a good 5 years at least, not a big worry for me since by 2009 I hope that Lcd's will be up to my standards.

    As for companys and eye checks. Nearly every crt in the companys I have worked in have been both cheap and set up for 60hz. Every Crt user in my company now gets set to 75hz when I see them and a few have come back 2 or 3 weeks later and thanked me.

    For me, the native resolution problem with LCD’s is just unacceptable and I simply don’t see myself using an LCD unless that problem is solved somehow. I'm a poor gamer and I have conditioned myself to like 640x480 resolution for gaming. The jaggies and the ugliness simply does not bother me now. But I have seen how an LCD running at a non-native resolution looks like. I don't want that.

    Space - if you put it in a corner at 45 degrees the LCD takes up nearly as much space as a CRT

    Probably less radiation off an LCD panel.

    For the same price CRT beats LCD of the same actual size

    LCD come in two flavours, with and without a digital input. Only with the digital input at the correct resolution are you guaranteed to get the full benefit of the crisp resolution

    then don't put it in the corner at 45 degrees. and that's not really true anyway. when i had a crt, in order to have any room on my desk i had to put the desk at 45 degrees to the wall as well as the monitor. 90% of the monitor was off the back of the desk resting against the wall so it wouldn't fall off. when i got an lcd i could put the desk back against the wall and the lcd took just about as much space in the corner as the crt did, except it didn't have a foot of cathode ray tube sticking out the back. definitely far less space used.


    and you shouldn't put monitors in the corner of the desk anyway, unless you turn the desk so you're directly facing it. i had terrible headaches at the back of my head for months and i could never figure out what it was. thought it might be a tumour at one point. then i moved my monitor from the corner to directly in front of me and the headaches went away in a few days. it was just that i had my head turned to the left for hours at a time
