Some people believe that the lower power consumption of an LCD is over-rated and that a cheaper CRT is the way to go.Let's just compare the power consumption .
A typical 19-inch CRT's power rating is set around 100 W and a similar-sized LCD, around 30 W. So, what type of saving are we talking of here? Say you run a monitor for seven hours a day for a year. A CRT will then consume around 255 KWH of power and LCD will around 76 KWH. Assuming that 1 unit of power is priced at around Rs 4, the difference in bills

bewteen the CRT and LCD over a year is around Rs 700.Multiply that by three year ( the common Warranty with monitors ),that's over Rs. 2,100 saved.if you use your screen for more than seven hours,that translates to a lot more! Keep in mind, the difference in price for CRT and LCD's for the 17-inch and 19-inch monitors is really minimal these days.
Also remember, LCDs run at much lower temperature.If you use an air conditioner in your computer room, the benefit of LCD might show up for this reason as well.
Let's not forget the glare reduction.
