    They are easier on the eyes, generate less heat (helpful if you have a lot of them in the summertime), and take up a lot less desk space.

    There are two downsides, IMO. First is they cost more. Secondly, you cannot get one that displays at the really high resolutions of the big CRTs (+1600).

    A few months ago, I decided to upgrade. Had two 21" CRTs, and bought 6 Samsung 191Ts. I still run one of the CRTs on my main trading system. All in all, this upgrade was a good thing - but I get more heat than I expected from the 6 LCDs.

    Go with the flat panel LCD for the reason that there is no flickering so that they are much easier on your eyes.

    i think the samsung 191t is the best chose you cand get the bezel are thin they are bright they look great.

    best way to check is to compare the spec
