Flat-panel Monitors: 5 Things to Know

It's hard not to admire the sleekness of flat-panel displays. They are a perfect example of form melding with function to create a superior product.

Is it time for you to trade in your trusty cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitor for a stylish new liquid crystal display (LCD) model?

Here's a look at what makes flat-panel monitors appealing. And what might keep one off your desk.

1. You'll save some desk real estate. The most obvious advantage of the flat-panel display is its size, or lack thereof. CRT monitors are big, honking things. Their cabinets are about 20 inches deep. They work, but they're passé. All of the work in a flat-panel monitor is done behind its thin screen by liquid crystals and millions of transistors. So the flat panel doesn't need a long case. If you are stretched for real estate on your desk, the small footprint is very enticing. It's not just space savings for your computer desk. Some flat panels can do double duty as a television. To watch TV, you just hit a button on the flat panel or use the included hand-held remote control. You'll pay extra for this feature.
