From what I've heard from others, CRTs have a longer useful life
span than LCD monitors as well, and are significantly cheaper, which
helps with the value equation.

Having read the posts on what to do with old CRTs and also the
dangers of photon beams zapping out of the ray guns and getting us
all, I am left with questions on two trains of thought:
(1) Is it wiser to buy a flat-panel monitor? Are we safer? Are
our kids safer? They spend quite a bit of time in front of those
monitors (both are gamers, and one is a design communications
major, so he's going to be in front of computer screens for a LONG
time). Should I consider replacing my sons' CRTs for flat-panels?
(I'm on a PowerBook.)
(2) Is CRT recycling actually a for-profit possibility? I am not
close to Oregon, so it would be hard for me to ship my CRTs.
However, would this be a viable start-up business option? How
would one learn how to properly & safely dismantle, sort, and ship
these things?
