| 117441 | 2003-01-31 21:50:00 | LCD = Liquid Crystal Display TFT = Thin Film Transistor These notations just refer to different perspectives of the technology used, and the names tend to be used interchangeably, although it seems TFT is becoming more commonly used to describe computer monitors since LCD is also widely used to describe the display in other devices. I have had a Samsung 15" TFT for about 4 months, replaced a 15" CRT monitor. I would now never go back to the CRT ( = Cathode Ray Tube) despite their lower cost. If I upgrade again it would be to a 17" (or larger) TFT display. TFT monitors have over the past few months had their prices falling fairly rapidly. One reason for this is that the technology is newer than CRT, and the technological and distribution/application/marketing aspects are still developing. CRT is a very old technology and most aspects of their production/distribution/economies of scale etc (these are important aspects of the price you pay for a monitor) hare pretty stable. |
