IEatHardDrives Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Im looking to buy an LCD monitor is it true that LCD monitors run cooler than a CRT because my CRT is like a heater. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluvus Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) Yes, they use roughly 1/3 as much energy (and thus, produce roughly 1/3 as much heat). Edited September 15, 2005 by Aluvus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pro1driver Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) just be sure to buy the "extra warranty" a replacement type if available, not "repair type". i have an AGneovo 19" LCD i bought about 2 years ago, and i wouldn't trade it for anything. cost more than a typical "pretty penny too". i also just updated the "extra warranty" for another 2 years, full replacement type, not repair type. check carefully as to the amout of "dead pixel" warranty your LCD has before you buy it.for instance, some warranties specify that 10 pixels (or more) must be dead, before warranty work (or replacement) will take place. lcd monitors have come a long way, i like the less electricity they use, the cooler running they do, and the light weight, although, my monitor is "real glass" not plastic glass (screen), so this adds to the weight, but still weighs less than my 19"crt i still have. i nearly need a "fork lift truck" to lift that one.also check on the warranty for the "back light" as the back light sometimes will cost more than the lcd monitor does.........!!!
