[kwlug disc.] lost the G in my RGB CRT

[John Kerr]

Hi Rick

Dump the monitor. They cannot be repaired.
I think that the LCD monitors would use less power.
For sure they give off less heat.

Does it make sense to get this monitor repaired? Is from year 2000.
I'm now using an even older monitor from 1995 so I know the problem
is with the monitor and not the computer's video output

What's the best environmental-wise? Do LCDs use a lot less electricity?
In other words, is moving to an LCD _more_ environmentally friendly
than repairing a CRT? If so, what's the best way to dispose of an old CRT?
