Computer monitors LCD vs. CRT, which is better for	Reply
by VE6SZR on March 3, 2003	Mail this to a friend!
With the advent of newer flat panel LCD computer monitors, I was wondering if someone had experience as to whether they caused (or where susceptible) to more/less EMI/RFI than the older CRT monitor technology. I am considering the purchase of the newer LCD type and would appreciate opinions in this regard. For example, CRT type monitors have caused aditional noise on 6m (Yaesu FT-817) which I managed to solve by changing to a different resolution. Thank you in advance. 73, Tino - VE6SZR Calgary, Alberta

My old CRT caused some minor problems in the shack. My new Macintosh 17 in. studio display is totally quiet.

The CRT in my shack generated a signal / noise about every 34kh. On some bands it was more pronounced than others. At time it would reach an S5 or highr level. In December I bought a Samsung SyncMaster 151v LCD..not only is the interference gone, but much better display. Harry WE1X

I recently switched from 16" CRT to 18" LCD in my digital shack. My opinion is that a modern LCD flat panel is better than CRT in all cases except the price ;-)

The LCD displays are the wave of the future. Although they are more expensive, remember, they use less power, and by the time you get to a 19" monitor, you practically need a crane to lift them, and a really sturdy desk to support them. And an 18" LCD would be the equivalent of a 19" CRT, if you read the fine print about "viewable size."
