LCD releases radiation?

Hi does computer monitors release radiation? I read that CRT ones do (the big bulky ones) but im not sure if any radiation is leaked/realased by lcd computer monitors. Do LCD computer monitors give off any kind of harmful treats?

Thanks.

People are scaring you with meaningless facts. CRTs give off beta radiation, aka electrons, which are stopped by a sheet of paper and easily stopped by your skin, so there is no risk there especially with the leaded screens.

LCDs are just a fluorescent lamp shown through a color filter, so it gives off no more radiation than a standard fluorescent lightbulb which is a bit of heat but primarily radiation between 380 and 750nm, aka visible light. Neither of them give off any harmful radiation what so ever.

Also could some one tell me what I exprienced. I have a LG W2252TQ LCD 22" monitor and when i first got it I had it on another table. One time when i was on the computer I put my head in a percise poistion and put my fingers on my temple and could hear a buzzy sound. Even if I tryed to move my head some where else(like bring it back abit) the buzzing would go. And it only ever came when i placed my some fingers on my temple on my head. It only happend one night and cant get it to make the buzzy sound again.

I have moved my computer in my room now. What caused this buzzy sound? (it wasnt the monitor it was like it was invisable and only could hear it when my fingers were on my temple/head and leaning slightly in.

I also had/have the actual computer sitting right next to the monitor.

Thanks.

Stupid Trolls. Go screw with Yahoo answers or something. Not with people here who actually give a damn. Hunter315, you have infinitely more patience then I do.

NO Bingy, LCD radiation is less than CRT. No worries

My PipBoy 3000 has never warned me of radiation when I'm hacking terminals, and that thing's as reliable as they come. You could always invest in some Rad-X or a nice Environment Suit if you are really that concerned about it. Though to be honest, I haven't noticed a difference at all when wearing the suit. Perhaps I'm not using it correctly, or don't understand how it's supposed to function, but I think it's probably just a gimmick like those bogus magnetic pain-relieving bracelets. I'll stand perfectly still in a puddle that gives me +1 Rad/sec and put on the suit, and it still says +1 Rad/sec. On a side note, I invested in a "My First Scientist's Kit" (or whatever it's called) with the thought that it would cure my radiation since I thought that was the main reason to get one. It doesn't cure jack! I use it, and it "detoxifies" me which I guess isn't the same as de-irradiating me. I suppose if I drank too much and woke up in the morning with a hangover, it'd be nice to instantly "detoxify", but I wanted a cheap way to de-irradiate myself. I got taken for like over a thousand caps that could have bought a whole lot of Rad-X.

Troll yourself you arrogant prat. It must be tough defining something as bad simply because it seems basic to you. Have you never asked a question on this or any other forum? What made your questions "intelligent" - the fact that you needed the answer?

Yeah, I got to say the OP seems legit. There's so much nonsense thrown around today and science education is a joke (at least in the U.S.) that I can completely understand why someone might think an LCD emitted dangerous radiation, hunter's answer was quite good.

But now could you scare people and talk about radiation and drywall? Especially drywall imported from China?

Countries Ranked Higher Than the US in science education.

Finland, Estonia, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Netherlands, Korea, Slovenia, Germany, UK, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium...

Yea i think I'll stop there and just say US is ranked 24th out of the 30 OCED countries. Least we're higher than mexico >.<
