Computer monitor 3

Cons:

    * Large size and weight, especially for bigger screens (a 20-inch unit weighs about 50 lb (23 kg))
    * High power consumption
    * Generates a considerable amount of heat when running
    * Geometric distortion caused by variable beam travel distances
    * Can suffer screen burn-in
    * Produces noticeable flicker at low refresh rates
    * Normally only produced in 4:3 aspect ratio (though some widescreen ones, notably Sony's FW900, do exist)
    * Hazardous to repair/service
    * Effective vertical resolution limited to 1024 scan lines.
    * Color displays cannot be made in sizes smaller than 7 inches (5 inches for monochrome). Maximum size is around 24 inches (for computer monitors; televisions run up to 40 inches).

LCD
Pros:

    * Very compact and light
    * Low power consumption
    * No geometric distortion
    * Little or no flicker depending on backlight technology
    * Not affected by screen burn-in
    * No high voltage or other hazards present during repair/service
    * More reliable than CRTs
    * Can be made in almost any size or shape
    * No theoretical resolution limit

Cons:

    * Limited viewing angle, causing color, saturation, contrast and brightness to vary, even within the intended viewing angle, by variations in posture.
    * Bleeding and uneven backlighting in some monitors, causing brightness distortion, especially toward the edges.
    * Slow response times, which cause smearing and ghosting artifacts. However, this is mainly a problem with passive-matrix displays. Current generation active-matrix LCDs have response times of 6 ms for TFT panels and 8 ms for S-IPS.
    * Only one native resolution. Displaying resolutions either requires a video scaler, lowering perceptual quality, or display at 1:1 pixel mapping, in which images will be physically too large or won't fill the whole screen.
    * Fixed bit depth, many cheaper LCDs are only able to display 262,000 colors. 8-bit S-IPS panels can display 16 million colors and have significantly better black level, but are expensive and have slower response time
    * Input lag
    * Dead pixels may occur either during manufacturing or through use.
    * In a constant on situation, thermalization may occur, which is when only part of the screen has overheated and therefore looks discolored compared to the rest of the screen.
    * Not all LCD displays are designed to allow easy replacement of the backlight
    * Cannot be used with light guns/pens
