LCD TVs need very little desktop space and are much superior in performance. Although initially they may seem to be more expensive than the traditional CRT TVs, their benefits in the long run far outweigh their costs. Other than the economic aspect, LCDs are also more healthful for you because they generate less radiation and also use less power. They also have the unmatched benefit of a flicker-free screen, considerably reducing eyestrain. Essentially, LCD televisions use up less than one-third the power of a CRT. And due to this factor, LCD monitors generate no harmful radiation as well as significantly lesser heat compared to their CRT counterparts.
