LCD vs CRT lifespan?

[Raczyk]

Does anybody know the lifespan of a LCD screen(compared to CRT)? Do the individual transistors in the screen start to fade with respect to color production?

Also just curious what is the response time of a CRT screen?

Thanks.

There is no "response time" for CRT's. Response time is generally the time it takes for an LCD pixel to go from full off to full on (basically). CRT's refresh the entire screen *at least* 60 times per second, and up to/over 120 times per second, this is referred to as your "refresh rate".

A good CRT should last ~10yrs, but will slowly get a little more out of focus and flickery right from day one.

An LCD should stay sharp and clear indefinitely, but the backlights won't last forever. The longest we've kept LCDs in the office is five years (laptops) and we havn't had any LCD/backlight problems at all.

CRT monitor response times are equal to about 16ms in LCDs.

A good LCD can last for about 10 year of use.
That’s about 87,000 hours, or about 30 years if you use your monitor 8 hours a day.

Christ udwig can you give more detail or specific model. I am using Hitachi superscan 753 from year 2000 till today september 18 2018, bought brand new, few 4 to 5 horizontal lines show up around 4 to 7 years of usage now about 8-10 lines. Average usage 8 to 15 hours, was for warcraft 3 and Dota games sometimes 20 hrs of gaming, now web browsing, youtube, online movie, regular Ms office, pdf basically not gaming. After about 4yr I am waiting for it to stop hopefully it is not out live me or my eyes. So any CRT design engineer or repair refurbish person who can tell how many year more can it last? 10 years ago I've prepared an LED to replace this CRT but 10 years more years had passed. If only Hitachi marketing would bought this back from me as proof of quality good product or running antique, but no fat chance their marketing group losing it niche.

You're responding to a thread with a last reply of nearly 15 years ago.

Which I will now close.
