Upgrading To LCD Monitors- Five Reasons

When I got my first computer back in the 80’s, things were a lot different. Small 12″ black and white monitors were the norm. And the CRT(Cathode-Ray Tube) Monitor became the norm. Boy how times have changed the look of computers.
Now may be the time to move on towards an LCD monitor. The new LCD screens take up less space on your desk while still providing a larger visible space, and are now cheaper than ever.
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 are cheaper than ever. Just browse your Sunday paper’s specials and you can usually find 19-22 inch LCD monitors for less than $200. A few years ago LCD monitors were double to triple the price of a normal CRT monitor, now however they are roughly the same price.
Third, it’s possible to get even larger LCD monitors. Most people never went larger than a 17″ CRT monitor, because any larger and they got really huge and bulky. But today, it’s not hard to find a reasonably priced 22″ monitor and above. So, you can either have your graphics much larger and easier to read, or you can fit more on your screen. Either way you win.
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.
These five reasons should give you plenty of ammunition to help you with your choice to upgrade to an LCD monitor. It makes more sense now than ever to upgrade and move to this new technology. In just a few years it won’t matter much anyway, as you’ll be forced to use an LCD monitor. Why not get a head start?
