A side by side comparison of LCD and CRT

An interesting comparison between the traditional CRT and the modern LCD computer monitors. While reading this link keep in mind the following:

• The unit cost of power in remote areas is more than the .157US cents used in the table.
• The note about airconditioning would apply only to the CRT monitor which generates much more heat which airconditioning systems have to remove.
• Note also that an LCD monitor increases the time an uninterruptible power supply can power a computer system hile on battery.
• There is a link to the advantages of a CRT monitor.
