Are CRT Monitors being phased out?

Yes. 6 years now, still working. :)

yuga, is Chimei a good LCD brand?

their 22″ LCD only costs 8T while Samsung costs around 10T +. :)

I’m still using my CRT monitor. I purchased it 7 years ago, though it has some recognizable performance problems (screen flickers), I still use it in doing graphics work. I have my LCD monitor on the side, but still relies on the accuracy of colors given by CRT. Well, the fact that Color calibration (spider) only works on CRT’s, I’d still go for it when colors are at stake.

Our home desktop computer still uses an AOC CRT monitor. I don’t really use that computer very much though since it’s the family’s computer. I’ve started mainly using laptops for computing 6 years ago so naturally I am only able to use LCDs most of the time.

I’m still using CRT monitor(the flat one), I prefer it for graphic designing, it has a better color range than LCDs, and easy to calibrate for color accuracy.

Didn’t know CRTs consume more power than LCDs…good one on me Abe.

Still have a 17″ AOC at home…bulky as hell, but the thing works. I also sold an old 14″ I think a year ago for 600 pesos I think. I felt like the guy paid me to carry the thing.

i have to clarify that power savings are significant for small monitor sizes. i read somewhere that as you go up in screen size, power savings of LCD over CRT monitors are reduced. there is a screen size wherein they have equal power consumption. thereafter, at much larger screen sizes, LCDs consume more power over CRTs.

yep I still have 2 CRTs still working A-OK ;)

No more CRT’s at home, my last one was an AOC 17″ and it conked out a year after it’s 3-year warranty expired. Aside from the savings in power and space, one reason I prefer LCD’s is they are available in widescreen format. Personally, I would never go back to non-wide screen monitors and I don’t think there are any CRT’s that are in widescreen format right? By the way, when our CRT TV stopped working, we never had it fixed and we have not had any TV at home for more than a year now. Saved us not just money but also time as well.

I still prefer CRT monitors over LCD when I do graphic design work, especially the printed kind. LCD colors are much too bright to be real (in a printed sense). At home, I do layout on the laptop, but do color correction on the CRT-equipped desktop.

My primary concern regarding monitors are for health reasons. Yung radiation nung CRT talagang harmful sa atin at yung mata natin baka masira. Kahit medyo mahal pinilit kong utangin. Tipid ka pa sa kuryente. Grabe laki talaga matitipid mo sa kuryente at hindi pa mainit yung work place mo. Bukod sa radiation, yung heat na nang gagaling sa likod ng monitor parang pakiramdan ko nag-luluto ako ng pandesal sa oven. :)

Naka-dual monitor ako – 22″ LG LCD and 17″ AOC CRT. Plano ko dati yung LCD na lang gamitin nang napansin ko na iba kulay. Mas matched yung kulay ng CRT sa actual print out ng photo.

Yup, I still use CRT for graphic design work, especially since I also run a publication. With CRT, the colors are just more accurate. :)

im still using one ^^ being a student i have no choice but to utilize what i have ^^. Ive been using my crt for 4 years now and its still working pretty well ^^ maybe ill replace it once im already working ^^

My CRT died three years ago. And I never looked back. LCDs FTW!

Haha! Well, I have 1 PC with CRT monitor (I have this since early 2000!) and another with an LCD. I am hoping that by next month I’d be able to buy a new LCD monitor.

I do desktop publishing work, and I prefer CRTs for this line of work, but eventually in a decade I’ll be hard-pressed to find a CRT that matches what I use right now, so the thing is… I guess that only some top-end manufacturers have LCDs built for desktop publishing.

i read your comments guys…i feel all of you have your reasons…i still am using crt’s..well aside from costly replacement of my monitors, i believe color is a factor….one thing you guys didn’t mention is the repairs of lcd. had one flat Lg 2 yrs ago and it bagged down after the warranty period…
know what happened???it’s part of my tambakables hehe…..no shop here can repair it….unlike crt’s..u cud spend around 500-800 php and it cud be as good as new…:-)

we do still use CRT Monitors in our comp shop it cost us 10x to buy a new LCD monitors so we prefer to 17″ CRT 2nd for only 600php.

I have stocks of used 17″ CRT monitors, all good working conditions. If interested pls contact Ger 0922-2020-220. Laguna area.
