What is the biggest CRT monitor?

What is the expected life of a LCD monitor / CRT monitor?

• I currently have a ViewSonic 19"CRT monitor and I am happy with its performance, but I am considering the purchase of a new monitor (19"). - Is buying a store demo LCD monitor a good idea?

• Answer:

  LCD's will generally last longer, however, they are also more fragile ... watch what you use to clean them and of course, treat them a little more gingerly than you would a glass tube -- you would be surprised at how many people still poke the screen with pens, pencils and fingers. A CTR monitor, will generally last about 2-3 years, then it will start to eventually get fuzzy and possibly completely burn out. LCD's are little more expensive, but they will generally last longer. Only use very mild soap and a very soft cloth to clean them and don't use too much pressure. If you're going from a CRT to a flatscreen, it will take a little getting used to, but I think you'll be happy. Also, I hate to say it, 'cause nobody wants to hear it, but you get what you pay for. Stick with name brand models like Sony, Samsung, Dell, etc. ... you'll pay a little more, but generally, the quality is WAY worth it ... If you've never heard of the company before, don't buy it. Happy Hunting !
