What the technology is

CRT Monitors

CRT monitors stand for Cathode Ray Tube and there are many types of advantages and disadvantages within the CRT monitors. Some advantages of a CRT monitor is that they are able to operate at their highest peak of resolution which is available, therefore the monitor displays images at their highest resolution available.

LCD Monitors

LCD monitors stands for Liquid crystal display and there are many features within the monitor. One if features an LCD monitor is that LCD monitors provides the user with an extreme amount of energy saving over LCD total life span.

Another feature an LCD monitor provides the user is the ability to change the options of a LCD monitor for an example, increasing the brightness or contrast of the monitor.

Evolution of CRT monitors to LCD monitors

Within the years from 5 to 7 years LCD monitors have developed over CRT monitors and there are going to be many types of points of how that happened.

One way of how CRT monitors have evolved to LCD will be that LCD monitors are very energy efficient because an LCD monitor only uses an amount of 18-32 watts on average of electricity, but instead a CRT monitor is less energy efficient because A CRT monitor uses energy about up to 80watts depending on its age of development.

Another way of how CRT monitors have evolved to LCD monitors is that LCD monitors has effected the product of graphics by the screen flickers in a very slightly less noticeable way because of its higher refresh rate, but rather than a CRT monitor which flickering occurs more because of the less refresh rate of the CRT monitor’s screen.

An additional way of how CRT monitors have evolved to LCD monitors is by most CRT monitors having a glare screen which causes more glare onto the CRT monitors than a LCD monitors. A monitors does not obtain a glass screen which gives it the advantage of not been able to have any glare.

Another alternative way of how CRT monitors have evolved to LCD monitors is also because of the physical size display of CRT monitors than LCD monitors which are thinner than CRT monitors.

Also a CRT has also evolved LCD is by the weight of the monitor, for an example a CRT monitor weighs an average of 45 pounds or less or more depending on the size of the monitor you got, but depending on LCD monitors, they weight a lot less than a CRT monitor of an estimate of around 7 to 10 pounds.
