If you work at a PC often, then you don't want to skimp on a monitor because your eyes will tire more quickly from looking at anything but crisp, clear text and graphics. Up until a few years ago the only monitors commercially available were the CRT type. They take up a lot of desk space and are fairly heavy. Recently LCD displays have become available. They are flat, take up very little desk space and are much lighter than CRT types. LCD units cost about $150 more than similar sized CRTs. The appearance DVI connectors on some LCD monitors allows it take advantage of digital video signals delivered by newer video cards. Before DVI all video signals in the PC were analog. This new feature has given the LCD display equal or better viewing characteristics than the old, venerable CRT. Recommendation: The differences in cost and space required between the CRT and LCD monitor may be the factors that swing you one way or the other. However, the way text and graphics appear is a much more subjective characteristic. Before you buy, it is worth seeing both types of display set up side-by-side, each running in turn from the same PC. This will provide you an apples to apples comparison, which may be the biggest factor in your decision.
