RE: Bigger Bulky monitor or smaller LCD?
Cookie: or when the screen is of a considerable size. In contract jobs where you need significant screen real estate, you try carrying around a couple of 21"+ CRT screens every few weeks/months.
Still, none of that is applicable here. It's the user experience that matters. Your going to need to sit down with those options and see for yourself.
BTW, "CRTs update the screen in one go, LCDs not." is not quite true. LCDs can, but [strangely] don't usually, update a line at a time, but most are the same as newer CRTs that do a pixel at a time, left to right top to bottom. How can a device that uses a single beam of electrons update the whole screen in one go?
Viewsonic [who's 21" CRTs have been lugged around and stared at for fifteen hours a day for at least ten years by the engineers who came before me] do a concise comparison, if you can be bothered googling it.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
