Thanks for your explanation but I'm not satisfied yet. Could you describe what are the advantages of having plasma monitor compared to most common monitors like sony or philips monitors ?

What do you mean? Todays' monitors? What sony or phillips monitors are you talking about?

OK. After doing some reasearch, Sony and Phillips is making a flat monitor. To cover all angles, This is what I have found.

Phillips makes a flat monitor, which IS plasma driven.

Sony is in production of a flat TV, which will be plasma based, but is not out yet.

Other than that, either a monitor is LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), or CRT (Picture Tube).

I just read a article from NEC that claims that their LCD monitor can be seen up to 160 degrees without color or light distortion. This is a computer monitor, but I am sure that if this works then you will see TV's coming out soon.

Let me know.

I am confused. You accepted the answer, but you graded it low. Why?

If I ever get a job, I intend to buy an LCD monitor. The things I've heard are that the focus is always perfect, though the resolution is worce than most CRT's, they use much less power than CRT's which probably cuts down on the radiation (my assumption), and they probably don't get hot enough or they don't contain that fire retardant coating that when heated can cause allergic reactions.

What i powers said about the viewing angle is true too.
