I'm still on my 17" Samsung Syncmaster CRT. No reason to change it yet - still works, colors are good, etc.. Overall I still prefer to CRT to LCD, unless you're talking about high-end LCDs (using IPS/PVA).
TFT is not better than LCD dude.. the quality wise sequence is something like this... Good- TFT better - LCD best - Plama
CRT Monitors Sort for cathode-ray tubes, CRT monitors were the only choice consumers had for monitor technology for many years. Cathode ray tube (CRT) technology has been in use for more than 100 years, and is found in most televisions and computer monitors. A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen. Each time the beam makes a pass across the screen, it lights up phosphor dots on the inside of the glass tube, thereby illuminating the active portions of the screen. By drawing many such lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, it creates an entire screen of images. LCD/Flat panel Monitors Short for liquid crystal display, LCD technology can be found in digital watches and computer monitors. LCD displays use two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. Color LCD displays use two basic techniques for producing color: Passive matrix is the less expensive of the two technologies. The other technology, called thin film transistor (TFT) or active-matrix, produces color images that are as sharp as traditional CRT displays, but the technology is expensive.
Obviously, LCD because it keeps your eyes protected from dangerous radiation which is caused by using CRT However CRT is more capable than LCD in terms of running time & price
I prefer LCD to Standard because of the New EnergyStar Watt Savings, the Space is smaller, HD CPU Screens, Bigger (I have a 19 inch) also it just plain looks cooler!
i now a days prefer lcd because it eats less current that conventional.. but conventional is the best for life time and repair works..!
LCD is good but be careful, I use my 42 inch lcd with HDMI connection you should try that you would love it
Go for LCD as it emits less radiations which is not harmful for eyes, consume less electricity and occupies less space.
