CRT or LCD monitor for me? (im a near sighted 14 year old)
January 27th, 2020
the reason it gives me headaches is because the radiation? idk.
what are the advantages of both and disadvantages of both?
what suits me best.
Thank you WBB
Go for LCD. One with good contrast ratio.
There’s absolutely no advantage that CRT can give over LCD.
Go for an LCD as The DA said. CRT’s used to give me headaches as well.
LCD.
can you increase the flicker (refresh) rate on it ?
just about anything above 60 (72/75 ) will help

that says it all
headaches are caused by eye strain
the refresh rate is a good place to start
Answer #5
LCD and enable cleartype you’ll be made up
Answer #6
Can you even buy a CRT monitor anymore? Definitely go for LCD.
Answer #7
For sure, LCD is the way forward.
Once you get it put the refresh rate at 60 or so

Apart from picture quality, no smearing/blurring, true blacks, no problems with backlight bleed, higher resolution. lol LCD’s cannot beat a quality CRT even now. Many are very low quality TN pas that use dithering to mimic the full colour palette so cannot even display a true 16.7 Million colour picture. The future? Don’t make me laugh.

Haha well you remind me of my dad who’s still stuck in the past saying his old 10yr old TV looks better than the plasma. I know where you’re going at. For normal people LCD’s are the best choice. CRT’s are only used in the professional field nowadays. Also he mentioned he’s near sighted and gets dizzy with CRT’s so that’s no an option for him.
Answer #10
Buy from pawn shops craigslist lol. and what happens if i increase the flicker rate? will it last longer shorter? will it do good? and i use CRT’s because i video edit with effects sooo… what do i do?! =/
Answer #11
increasing the refresh (flicker) rate won’t hurt anything
when I used CRT’s I’d set mine @ 75Hz or above
and that headache will go away so you can concentrate on your mpg/QT prob !

lol well my monitor can go all the way up to 85 Hertz (maximum) is that good enough?
and nice lol thanks!
Answer #13
Anything above 75Hz will be pretty good I think. Even 60 wont be so bad.
If you have the money get a 30″ LCD TV with 10000:1 contrast ratio. They will be great for video editing
Answer #14
well my monitor can go all the way up to 85 Hertz (maximum) is that good enough?
yup
try 75 also to see if there’s a diff for you but either is fine
Answer #15
but isn’t the higher the better?
Answer #16
but isn't the higher the better?
every monitor is different
had a monitor that went to 120 but the text got blurry

Professionals use them for a reason which is why I stick with them until something better comes along. LCD’s belong in calculators and that is where they should of stayed IMO. It’s a poor technology which is being pushed onto people due to massive investment in LCD pa manufacturing plants.
Eye strain could be a problem if he suffers headaches. Increasing the text size might help and so would increasing the refresh rate. That might solve his problems without him having to buy another monitor. I cannot believe he has been using a CRT@60Hz. I would have problems with mine at that refresh rate.

For me I always have mine set to 85Hz but some people are far more sensitive to flicker than others. Some people such as can use lower refresh rates such as 75Hz but for me, 85Hz is ideal and has no flicker just a good solid picture that I can use for very long periods without any problems.
60Hz is far to low, I don’t think anyone could use a CRT at that refresh rate without noticing flicker. I certainly can when my system is just being set up before graphics drivers have been installed, my monitor/graphics card defaults to 60Hz I cannot bear it long at that rate.
Just increase the refresh rate until you don’t notice any flicker. If you can increase it slightly more than that then do it, it will give some margin. But it does not sound like the monitor you have is all that capable.
Answer #18
you’ll be better off with a lcd…
Answer #19
BUY A BIG CRT
YOU GET MUCH BETTER QUALITY, SHARPER IMAGE AND THEY GO UP TO HIGHER REFRESH RATES (LIKE 100HZ ON MINE)
Answer #20
^^^^ And a crane to lift it
Set the resolution to what you require…but no more.
And up the refresh rate to what it can handle comfortably !
Answer #21
Im using CRT at 85Hz refresh rate and its excellent.
what said is correct and any lower refresh rate then that may be the main cause of your headaches.
Also, althogh its a little bothering sometimes im still using 800X600 res on XP and by that reducing the pressure on my eyes, you should try that too..
And one more thing, dont play to much GTA, its not good to your health either (=
Answer #22
Forgot to mention that with CRT’s when you game the FPS should be at minimal equal to the refresh rate on your monitor. Or else you’re eyes will hurt real bad. I have experienced this before (~6 years ago) and I had to take eye drops. Doesn’t happen so with LCD’s. Maybe it’s just me but I thought I should put this in.

Well said – LCD’s really are terrible quality screens. If it isn’t to be a CRT, get a TFT’
Answer #24
You’ll find that all LCD monitor screen are TFT these days..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD
The more pixels the merrier although they are pretty much standardised now.
Go for a low response time eg 2ms and of course a good brightness and contrast ratio….Only real drawback in real life would be the limited viewing angle except maybe for very fast movement..

I usually concur with your opinion but serious cam/cad work is still mainly performed on CRT monitors because of the resolutions and quality obviously games and the like requiring very rapid refresh (a term not truly applicable to both types as static pic on LCD don�t refresh but would on CRT) LCD is best.
But CRT still reins supreme for picture quality if you can afford the cost of a professional item no comment on his vision problem as that is individual
Answer #26
2ms response = 50 frames per sec. Almost all movies run below 30 fps. In all games you’ll have the vertical sync option, although it’s not really needed. I play CS Source at over 100fps usually and I cannot notice any blurring.
Answer #27
LCD Is Your Best Hit! Go For It Mate!
Answer #28
I have a Viewsovic p95f+ 19 inch CRT.I ‘m just get bored of it ,although it can handle 87 refresh rate at 1600*1200!Next step probably 1920*1200 LCD
Answer #29
LCD is a lot better
Answer #30
I have a 17″ Dell trinitron (back in 2000 when it was made they weren’t so terrible) and a 19″ Fujitsu CRT, both running flicker-free and 100% clear at 1600×1200 (yes I know that’s amazing for a 17″ ) and 72hz refresh for the 19″ and 75hz for the 17″. More than 8 years old (in the case of the Dell) and still a perfect picture
You’ve just got to love CRTs <3

Graphics proffessionals are not stuck in the past. CRTs give better quality colour, it’s what they do. Records might seem outdated to most but they have the best sound quality. tube amps seem out of date when in fact some people prefer them.

Major manufactures have or are about to stop production however Panasonic has announced an enhancement in the performance of high-quality production LCD monitors � the 120Hz 17in BT-LH1760. The new monitor offers wide off-axis viewing and color reproduction and provides the motion handling and latency advantages formerly provided only in CRT monitors. The LH1760 is a widescreen HD display that delivers impressive color reproduction and now offers a vectorscope function in addition to Panasonic�s standard built-in waveform monitoring function.
Using a new in-plane switching (IPS) pa with 1280 x 768-pixel native resolution, the LH1760 produces faithful color reproduction with twice the response speed of other currently available professional LCD monitors, so images clear even when displaying fast-motion content. The LH1760 features a 120Hz refresh rate, double that of standard 60Hz LCD monitors. This enables the monitor to handle fast-motion content exceptionally well, minimizing image blur to a level never before seen in a professional LCD display.
In addition, this high performance production monitor is equipped with a built-in waveform monitor and vectorscope that display all picture lines for signal level monitoring. For critical HD focusing and comparison, the LH1760 comes with valuable functions such as pixel-to-pixel matching, which allows the user to see an input signal pixel by pixel without any resizing, and split screen/freeze frame (live input vs. freeze frame).
The LH1760 features an array of input/outputs to support virtually any production task including DVI-D input, two auto-switching HD-SDI/SDI inputs, component video (Y/Pb/Pr), RGB, PC RGB, external sync and speaker and headphone outputs. Additional standard features include embedded audio, time code, closed-captioning and an eight-chan audio level meter (via SDI).
Inheriting the rugged design of Panasonic�s line of production monitors, the rack-mountable LH1760 is thin, lightweight and durable, with a die-cast aluminum build. The compact monitor has low energy consumption and, because there is no need for a fan, offers quiet operation.

Answer #35
Several months later ( ) I still stand by my decision – once a 17″ LCD is released that can do 1600×1200 I will look into the technology (obviously I’m not actually going to buy a 17″ LCD, it is just an example).
