Well all LCDs are flat, but now so are some CRTs , well in my opinion LCD has a better picture, well many people still have CRTs and thats because CRTs have faster responce speed, and they are especially popular with people who play alot of FPS because of the fast action . But take it from me, if u buy a high quality LCD u wont notice any difference |

I pesonaly recommand you CRT Sony or Samsung flat monitor. There is no monitor that can give better picture then that 2 can. And factor costs/quality is on CRT monitor's side. LCD are too expensive and don't yet give that good picture. And one piece of advise. Buy very good monitor because that's the part of computer that you are allways watching. It must be very good.  |

XP professional, xp home is a so called "lite" version, without one or another feature.. and when u get it, try to get the servicepack 2 at the shop or the internet, and always update it with the integrated updater... to fix some things and keep your drivers up to date at the manufacturers site of your mainboard, sound- and graphic card |

Well of course CRT monitors are cheaper, but LCDs DO have a better picture, the problem with LCDs is as I said response speed which really isnt all that important if your not like a professional Quake or Unreal tournament player. And there is another problem with LCDs on some of them u cant see a good picture under a certain angle, but in the good ones these days it isnt that much of a problem  So if u can buy a quality LCD screen, because it IS better than CRT but of course its more costly.  Oh and LCDs dont mess up your eyes, while CRTs do that |
