What are the pros and cons of an LCD?

in comparison to what?
you taling about big screen displays little displays?
in comparison to leds and oleds?
what?

Well one bad things is that image is not vieweble from all the angles.. the pros is that it doesnt hurt your eyes ( i only explain if you want)
better image and thiner..

Can the screen be burnt into an LCD?

no it defenetly can not burn in that's a big plus for lcd i used to sell lcd and plasma tv's the negative thing on a lcd (tv) is that the pictures are nice if you vieuw them from a distance but from upclose you can see the cristals if it's for your computer monitor than its no prob. it's an other resolution you can leave your lcd screen 24/7 on one and the same image and it will not burn itn because it isn't projected just as a normal screen there are little cristals that will collor up when they are charged with electricity.. an other negative thing is already mentioned ithe vieuwing point is just al small radius... but on the good side a lcd last about three times longer than any other tv or monitor ( atleast if they are similair quality).
just remember this if the electronics behind the cristals couldn't wear out  the lcd would go for a life time .

Thanks everyone.

best LCD screens are the ones with Anoalogue/digital ones,   but i think there somewhat better than the CRT monitors out there, to Big an ugly

I was just wondering, because I have an LCD for my computer....

i used to have a crappy 15inch LCD .. updated to a 17inch one .. good for watchin a Porno

i have a 17 inch lcd moniter is great but i never knew that it was as good as i thought till i read u can keep em on without a screen saver and it wont burn im still gonna have a screensaver tho i love it but yes its true its a little difficult to view from different angles but when im watching a movie i can go to the other side of the room and st on my couch without a problem there awesome but a imax screen would own it

i like lcds simply because there smaller and there easier on the eyes. most of them have an auto adjust so you can use the entire visable screen. on a crt the viewable area is about 1 inch less than the marketded size.

ive got a 17"LCD and a 17" CRT, Th "not viewable from all angles" is only for really acute angles where you wouldnt want to be watching it..

One thing no one mentioned was that LCD's have a lower refresh rate than CRT's - therefore its worse if your a hardcore gamer, but having them next to each other i can say i cant tell the difference..

How do we find out how many seconds or milliseconds our LCD is?

good question...go to google and make a search 4 the model...then look for anything in miliseconds...mine as a label in the top right corner saying 12 MS eheh...

Edit: btw that number in miliseconds is the time is takes the screen to show the image...

i have a medion md7475ac 15"

all i can say is its  crap about 2 pixils are dead and its only 6 months old and the pixils sometimes need to be auto set again

with the viewing angle, if you get a decent monitor, then there will be no problem with viewing angles, i have a Sony TFT, and they are amazing, the clarity is superb and the only problems are that it can get slightly darker and lighter if you view from above or below, but side to side is perfect.

As well as for viewing angles, you should avoid cheap-end tfts because of dead pixels (the one i first got came with one out of the box) and also the phase can tend to come out of synch between heating up and cooling down when turning on and off - resulting in flickery/juddery text, which although you might be able to adjust away, will then have to readjust once it's been on for a while.

also bear in mind that perfect colour representation is less guaranteed because of the colour distortion connected with viewing from different angles.
