What kind of monitor do you use: LCD or CRT ? - GoFuckYourself.com

DarkJedi · 01-24-2005, 06:34 AM

And which one do you think is easier on the eyes ?

I've had 19" LCD for a year now and my eyes hurt all the time.
Thinking about switching back to a good CRT.

Yeah I thought LCDs were meant to stop them hurting. Maybe you have it set up bad or have bad lighting in your room or something.

LCD only

swedguy · 01-24-2005, 07:31 AM

Both.

LCD to work on, CRT that is on a different screen resolution for reviewing.

i think you posted you got the samsung syncmaster 19'?

i also got that one and it's far better for my eyes than the old CTR

sure, eyes can hurt sometimes even with an LCD, so just try to take a break ocassionally and don't sit in front of the pc a few hours
even a 3 minutes break, f.e looking outside the window does well for my eyes

I use CRT. LCDs are too expensive here

blazin · 01-24-2005, 09:16 AM

Sony 17" LCD at home - its absolutely perfect

21" CRT at work (need lots of screen space when writing code)

tony286 · 01-24-2005, 09:17 AM

lcd is much easier on the eyes

iFliPcEss · 01-24-2005, 09:30 AM

i am using sony lcd, so far its cool, crt is good if you are a designer

shuki · 01-24-2005, 09:34 AM

3 19" lcds love all the realestate it provides

Project-Shadow · 01-24-2005, 10:27 AM

LCD is alot better on the eyes.. you might have the refresh rate set to something weird which is causing the pain. 17" TFT ... saw a nice 20" in the local shops going for $750, I was so close to buying it, but then I remembered that particular model had an issue with dead pixels, nothing would suck more than a TFT with 1 dead pixel =/

d00t · 01-24-2005, 10:33 AM

CRT is still better quality and cheaper... why bother with LCD?

MandyBlake · 01-24-2005, 10:38 AM

i use two lcd monitors at work and at home i have a new laptop.

tranza · 01-24-2005, 10:43 AM

actually its pretty normal to happen if you work too long..

LCD's all the way
-> more work space
-> much easier on the eyes
-> less power usage
-> affordable
