LCD Monitor Vs. CRT

[Potatoman]

Hi all - Is a LCD screen a lot more cheaper on electricity than CRT? Lets say Vs 17inch LCD and a 17 Inch CRT. Cheers,

They also give out significantly less heat. Many companies with large office areas converted to LCD despite the cost because of the reduced air conditioning/power costs.
