Which One is Better: Crt or Lcd?

For many of us, it is difficult to determine priority between CRT and LCD monitors. We are often faced with situations where we do not know who to choose one. Two of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Now-a-day, most office computer systems are sold with LCD monitors default. But it is good to know the difference and would be better off buying.


Cathode ray tubes (CRT)
The most obvious benefits that CRTs held on LCDs is their color rendering. CRT monitors have better contrast ratio and depth of color LCD display. But this is not true for all cases because much progress has been made in LCDs to reduce this gap. The color capacity of CRT monitors degrade over time as phosphorus in the tube decompose. CRT Monitor's ability to scale easily to various resolutions is one of its major advantages. The screen can easily be adjusted downwards resolution adjusting the electron beam in the tube. The image clarity remain intact.

In addition to these advantages, disadvantages as well. The size and weight of CRTs are the biggest drawbacks. An LCD monitor of the same size as CRT 80% less weight. With the increase in screen size, the difference is also increasing. Energy consumption is another major disadvantages. Monitors CRT consumption and generate more heat than LCD monitors.

Liquid crystal displays (LCD)
Its biggest advantage is size and weight. Because of the lightness of LCDs it was possible to have larger screens. LCDs also tend to produce less eyestrain for the user. The CRT tend to cause severe constraints on computer users due to its light and dam scanning lines. The constant display screen pixels along with lower intensity of LCD monitors produces less fatigue for the user.

The main drawback of LCD screens is fixed or their native resolution. LCDs are only able to display the number of pixels in its matrix and neither more nor less. Due to the decrease in response time video has been a problem with early LCD monitors. However, many improvements have been made, but some of them have a low response time.
