Question:

I want to buy a 17 LCD monitor or 17 FLAT CRT? Which one is better?

I will buy a pc but can't figure out which monitor is better for me LCD or flat CRT. What are the advantages disadvantages? My 6-year old kid will use it also.

Answer:

LCD definitely! I used to not like the LCD's very much, but now that I have one (19) I love it! I wouldn't go back to a CRT. My mom has a 17 flat CRT, and it works goodbut it's an eyesore because of it's size and the quality is SO much better with an LCD. Seriously, it's like night and day, so I'd go with the LCD. Happy monitor buying! Rachel The Computer Tutor :)
I would say a LCD monitor is a better buy. They are flat and lightweight. The CRT monitors are outdated heavy round monitors, so I wouldn't recommend them.
Flat crt is still a big monitor, you mean the screen itself is flat and not rounded? Weight is a disadvantage to crt, so is space. Go with LCD.
Well if you want a monitor bigger than you your self Then get a CRT they are huge. I would acctually get a 20 LCD FlatScreen monitor but I bet the 17 is in your price range so I would get an Envision 17 Flat Screen LCD Monitor from Costco, Bestbuy, Circuit City. Alot of computer stores carry it. I am using dual-17 monitors (LCD) and I love them I used to have a bulky 15CRT and it was right in my face because it was so long and big but the screen viewing it self was small so over all I prefer the (17 LCD Flat Screen Monitor)
Go with 17 LCD look around cause The 19 are not much more you be glad you did. I bought an off brand one 4 yrs ago and it is going strong, still
