Current population of LCD monitors (Liquid Color Display) is increasing rapidly. Besides the price is cheaper, more well-known LCD monitor power saving compared to a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube).
Even so, the world population in the CRT monitor is still much more than the LCD, why? Although the price has gone down, the price is still affordable LCD monitor. Price of 17 inch LCD monitor with a fairly well-known brands are now about 150 to 200 U.S. dollars, compared with a 17 inch CRT monitor real flat with well-known brands costing 100 U.S. dollars only. I myself also still use the 15-inch CRT. What advantages does LCD than a CRT? LCD and CRT has its own advantages and disadvantages of their own. Here's the translation of the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Comparative advantages and disadvantages of LCD or CRT monitor types are as follows:
Physical size
The physical size is much larger CRT monitors, because it requires space for a CRT tube. LCD size for a more streamlined to fit a limited space or for laptops.
Color
Initially, only the color LCD monitor hundreds to thousands of species, while the CRT has reached millions. However, a new type of LCDs has been able to produce infinite color so that the view is more subtle
Resolution
Generally CRT monitors can display a variety of resolutions, while the LCD monitor has only one native resolution, the resolution at which the resulting display has the clearest picture. This state is the highest LCD resolution can be reached.
Brightness
In the CRT brightness is not an issue. On the LCD, since the emission of light from behind, the LCD has a brightness level that is different from CRT. Size LCD brightness is usually expressed in units of nits, which ranges between 70-250 nits. The higher the value of nits, the brighter the image display.
Vision angle
Compared with CRT, LCD monitors have a smaller viewing angle, so that appears to change color when viewed from the side or even not visible at all. But today's LCD monitors have a wider viewing angle again
Power Consumption and Emission of Radiation
LCD only requires a small electrical power to operate and does not emit harmful radiation when compared to CRT monitors. The average computer monitor requires 110 watts of electrical power, while LCDs require about 30 to 40 watts.
Price
LCD monitors are more expensive than CRT types.
