Today, LCD flat panels have become very popular as computer monitors. As opposed to CRTs, LCDs are much smaller, less straining on the eyes, use less power, and damn good looking. The technology behind them now is considered to be much more advanced than any “super flat” CRT. Not only are they thin in general, but the screen surface is as flat as flat gets. The only two major concerns among enthusiasts with LCDs are that a) they refresh slower than CRTs and fast animation will look blurry or glitchy and b) they are not worth the price.
