Boy have computers come a long way. I can still remember my first computer, with the 12" bulky monitor, and the huge boxy computer frame, with the external floppy disk. However, here in 2008 things are different.
If you've still got that bulky monitor on your desk, now might be the time to upgrade to an LCD monitor. They're smaller, cheaper and actually bigger than your old CRT monitor.
First off, they have a much smaller footprint than your normal monitor. What that means is it takes up much less space on your desk. It's not nearly as bulky.
Second, LCD monitors have drastically dropped in price. They are much cheaper than they ever have been before. You can routinely find 19 inch LCD monitors for sale for under $200. Just a few years ago, LCD monitors were double to triple the price of a normal CRT monitor. These prices have equalized just in the last year or two.
Third, the screen sizes are increasing. With older CRT monitors 19 inch monitors were absolutely HUGE, they weighed almost 100 lbs and took up a ton of space. Now, it's not uncommon to have LCD monitors 22-27 inches, and even increasingly two monitor setups.
Fourth, the quality is there like never before. 10 years ago when LCD monitors first started coming out, they were slower than normal monitors. The monitor would get really blurry during movies, or any graphic intensive action. Now, they have much faster response times and the quality of the picture is much better than it ever has been before.
Fifth, the newer models of computers and graphic cards only have digital outputs which no longer support older CRT monitors. Because of this increasing trend, CRT monitors are being eliminated from the market, and no longer supported.
There really is nothing holding you back any longer. If you need a quick upgrade, or are looking for an improved computing experience. Now is the time to move towards a new LCD monitor.
