Boy have computers come a long way. I can still remember my first computer, with the 12" bulky monitor, and the huge boxy computer frame, with the external floppy disk. However, here in 2008 things are different.
If you still have a bulky monitor connected to your computer, now may be the time to upgrade to an LCD monitor. The new models of LCD monitors take up less space, with a larger display and seem to be getting cheaper by the day.
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 have drastically dropped in price. They are much cheaper than they ever have been before. You can routinely find 19 inch LCD monitors for sale for under $200. Just a few years ago, LCD monitors were double to triple the price of a normal CRT monitor. These prices have equalized just in the last year or two.
Third, they are larger than ever. I'm talking pure screen size. The most popular size of normal/CRT monitors was 15", while many LCD's are coming in at 19" or larger. It means you get more on your screen at one time, plus it looks larger and clearer than ever before.
Fourth, LCD display quality is vastly improved. Gone are the days when the pictures were jagged and refreshed very slowly. LCD monitors in fact are faster, brighter and clearer than their equivalent normal CRT monitors. The quality has undergone dramatic transformation.
Fifth, in many cases your graphics card on a new computer will only support an LCD monitor. The interface between a computer and a monitor can be accomplished in many different ways. The cheaper and most effective method of connecting to an LCD is the new digital outputs which are no longer compatible with older monitors.
There really is nothing holding you back any longer. If you need a quick upgrade, or are looking for an improved computing experience. Now is the time to move towards a new LCD monitor.
