Is an LCD Panel Right for Me?

|
Is an LCD Panel right for you? It depends on your needs. Below is a list of
common scenarios where an LCD panel provides the best performance, followed by a
list of scenarios that might suggest the need to use a different technology.
Scenarios where an LCD flat panel will perform well:
- Any application that will require a screen of less than 42" diagonal.
- Installations that require the monitor/television to be built into a wall or cabinetry, and require a diagonal image of less than a 42".
- Pre-made entertainment centers and bedroom armoires.
- Any application that requires wall mounting and requires a diagonal image of less than 42".
Scenarios where another technology might be more effective:
- Any application that requires a large screen — larger than 40" diagonal. LCD displays get cost prohibitive for sizes above 40". If you opt to select an LCD panel of over 40", be prepared to pay.
- Applications where the best possible image quality is needed. A CRT is still going to give the best shadow detail and color.
- Tight budgets; CRT technology will be much less expensive per viewing area.
