Which one would you prefer if you had to make a selection between the two ? ;

A 17" LCD Monitor or A 19" CRT Monitor.

And why ?

I like smaller screens better, so im going to go with the
17" LCD.Becuase they are more compatible and also
because i like smaller moniters or cpu's better than bigger
ones don't know why but just do.

Definitely LCD. These days the price of LCD is dropping and the screen and thickless of LCD are unbeatable. I'm using a 19" LCD with resolution 1280x1024. Pretty cool!

I would choose CRT 19" if asked to choose between LCD 17" and CRT 19". Size of the screen does matters for gamers like me. And second, CRT has a higher refresh rate.

i like 17" monitor presently i am using 14" color monitor i will be stisfied with 17" because it can be good to play games
`9" is large and will get pain to our eyes and we have to sit far away in order to browse or play games

LCD no matter what size, I would take a 14'' LCD over a 21'' CRT anyday, I just don't like big bulk monitors anymore. I would gladly pay an extra $100-$300 for a monitor to have an LCD. they are better on the eyes.

17" is the best size. Anything smaller or bigger is crap for home users. Therefore I'll go with the 17" LCD monitor.

17'' i think 19 is too large and i don't like huge backs.It consumes too many space and you can use the space for the cpu actually.
