In the market for a new LCD, but don't know anything about them? Ars Technica has an article up describing the features of the flat panel and it's comparison to a CRT monitor. Here's a snip:
LCDs use rod-shaped molecules (these are the liquid crystals) that flow like liquid and bend light. When the crystals are unenergized, they direct light through two polarizing filters, thus delivering a natural background color. When they're energized, they redirect the light to be absorbed in one of the polarizing filters. The contrast and viewing angle are improved along with increased twisting of the molecules. The LCD panel is basically translucent glass that can display computerized images using a bunch of these liquid crystals (each creates one pixel).
