Do LCD flat panels displays require a screen saver like CRTs moniters?

No they do not require a screen saver.\nand\nNo. The do not burn-in.\n\nYou see LCD technology does not itself emit light, and the back-light is not strong enough to etch the glass over time.....\n\nPlasma monitor/TV's can burn-in though.\n\nPS: screen burn-in would never be called 'dead pixels'

A TFT monitor uses thin-film transistor technology for the ultimate LCD or liquid crystal display. LCD monitors, also called flat panel displays, are replacing the old style cathode ray tubes (CRTs) as the display of choice. Nearly all LCD monitors today use TFT technology.\n\nThe benefit of a TFT monitor is a separate, tiny transistor for each pixel on the display. Because each transistor is so small, the amount of charge needed to control it is also small. This allows for very fast re-drawing of the display, as the image is re-painted or refreshed several times per second............\n\nsource(s) : http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-tft-monitor.htm

Create a screen saver. Go to Control Panel and click on Display. Click on the tab screen saver. Make sure you include a password.

If you are using a CRT type monitor as opposed to a flat screen LCD it is not suprising. The CRT is a cathode ray tube it is one of the few tubes still in use in electronics today. the way all tubes work is as follows. there are (3) elements to the tube; The cathode, the anode and the control grid. In all tubes the cathode is a filament much like in a light bulb. It heats up and electrons are "boiled off" of its surface. The anode is positively charged and attracts the electrons. the voltage placed on the control grid(s) determine the current flow from cathode to anode. In a CRT you have 3 cathodes with controll grids called electron guns which produce a thin beam of electrons. A magnetic yoke around the base of the tube moves the beams horizontaly and vertically to scan across the anode. There is one gun for red another for green and another for blue hence RGB. The anode is at a very high potential, about 32,000 volts DC. This can shock you although it is usually not very dangerous as the current supply is low.

On older CRT monitors (resemble a TV), having the same image on-screen for a long time would cause it to start etching into the glass. This was called "monitor burn".\n\nUsually happened worst on monochrome displays; almost never happens nowadays, and can't happen to LCD displays.

In the past the savings was significant with CRT monitors; not only does one save on the electricity, but one also prolongs the life of the tube and circuits inside the monitor.\n\nLCD screens use far less power than CRTs, and so you'll get great savings if you retire your CRT and replace it with a LCD.  So do this if you haven't already.\n\nSwitching off an LCD will save a little, but not significant amount, since they are already so efficient to begin with.  Switching off also protects against unexpected power surges that may damage your monitor.\n\nHaving said that, I still switch off my LCD and computer if I don't expect to use it for the next 2 hours or so, and I always switch off every night before going to bed.

It depends on what type of tv it is.  For example, the 32" LCD tv in the link below displays 1,049,088 (1366x768), or just over 1 Mega pixel (1 million pixels).  However, a normal CRT tv would have a lower resolution.  Unfortunately, they do not list the resolution for their CRT tv's on their website for some reason.

monitor is taking a dump....crt tube is getting gassy...too much hi voltage...try turning down your brightness control

there is no need to dagauss an LCD. They do not work on the same principle as a CRT and therefore do not need this.

Is it a CRT (huge, big box monitor)?\nIf it is, it seems that its going to die soon. The Flyback transformer may neet replacement. Go get an LCD already :D

There are dozens of antiglare panels for various types of monitors, both CRT and flat panel.  Check tigerdirect, newegg.com and ebay for some good deals.

Well, LCD's don't require much care, but if you want to keep your monitor in good shape there are a few things you can do.\n\nYou should never touch the screen. An LCD screen is sensitive and very easily damaged by both pressure and the oils from your skin.\n\nSecondly, like anything else, you should turn it off when not in use. LCD's don't suffer burn in like CRT monitors, but it's still a good idea to turn the monitor off to save power.\n\nThird, you should always keep your monitor clean. Never clean it with Glass Plus or ammonia based cleaners. Instead, use the cleaners suggested in your manual. The only one that I've seen do all my LCD's and other screens (CRT's, DLP's, Plasmas, etc.) is the Monster TV Cleaning Kit. Usually Monster Products are overhyped, but it comes with more value than any other screen cleaner then before. You get a gigantic bottle (can't notice how much I've used in 1 year- I clean often, and it looks like I haven't opened it), a large and nice microfiber cloth, and it is more effective- one spray will get you through 90% of the time, and always in two. Only $20, which is a small price to pay for an LCD monitor:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812155532\n\nFinally, always handle your LCD carefully, at it is very sensitive to drops and getting "dead/stuck pixels" (either pixels that don't work or are stuck a particular color) from bad handling.\n\nIn conclusion? With a little care and caution, your LCD will work well for years to come.

Conserves energy, supports very high resolutions, portable, sexy.\n\nNote: Viewing angle is still a trouble..... you don't have that problem in CRT monitors. The picture becomes negetive & colour changes when we increase the viewing angle of a TFT screen.

crt (big) monitors are sharper then lcd (flat screen) but lcd do save space , power, and less heat to,watch the warranty on flat screen they dont last a long as crt do

Easy, have them buy you a new monitor.  LCDs can have problems if too much pressure is applied.

no, a pixels not something you can just take out... LCD's and plasmas are both made with a gas!! the pixel just determines how well the gas will pick up the light in you screen! Go to Dell's website find one you want and them call the 1-800 number. they will always drop the price!!! i just bought a 17" LCD from Dell for around 100 bucks!!!!!!1
