A:
Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different from that of a CRT monitor --
and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to usually undetectable luminance
caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the
human eye occurs when the on/off action of the fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid
crystal in an LCD panel is much slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD display.
A:
Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro Magnetic Interference, especially
magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes relatively low power, its power supply is extremely quiet.
A:
Yes. Philips LCD monitors conform to the guidelines of MPR-II and TCO 99/03 standards for the control of radiation,
electromagnetic waves, energy reduction, electrical safety in the work environment and recyclability. The specification
page provides detailed data on safety standards.
