Radiation...from LCD?
 

Hello.

This is a dumb question, but I was wondering if it was possible to get radiation from an LCD monitor?

I doubt it is possible because of no CRT but how is the colour displayed?

Well, gtg. Thanks!

i doubt there's any radiation . . . LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display, here's how it works: http://www.howstuffworks.com/lcd.htm

Hate to be the one to break it to you, but you are going to die. Don't worry about it.

well i've spent quite alot of time in front of my LCD, and I haven't started mutating yet.

if you listen to the cuckoos who talk about radiation, they'd probably tell you there's harmful radiation in donuts. just live life.

Maybe a little, but you probably get more radiation from the ********12 breaking down inside your own body.

runs on pure communism.

plain and simple, broseph :)

It mutates your stomach so that it gets fatter :igor: but only after a whole bunch.

I was looking for a cooking thermometer the other day, and saw what looked from the front like a cheap piece of crap... when I read the label, it said "Pure LCD display!" I then looked at the TOP of the thermometer, and saw NOT an LCD, but a plain analog thermometer lol. I have no idea where they got the LCD thing.

I don't know how you would get any radiation out of an LCD though.

I Was Wondering I Know Theres No Radiation In A LCD Displays But What About Normal Computer Monitors Do They Have Radiation In Them?

Yes, firing electrons at phosphorous releases a bit of radiation. Pretty much everything releases radiation, though. A little bit won't hurt you. You'd get more if you were outside in the sun.

P.S. The backlighting inside LCD monitors actually does release a bit of radiation, but it's a tiny, tiny amount. It's about as insignificant as it can get.

Alright, that's what I was thinking because there are no electrons to manipulate.

Thanks! :)

Mr 75MHz --> Yes, you get lots and lots of radiation from big hinking CRT monitors. Here is how it works http://www.howstuffworks.com/monitor.htm

I'd be more worried about the radiation emitted from mobile phones than CRT's...

We are bombarded by radiation every single second of every single day. Its all in the atmosphere too.

Mr 75hz, can you please refrain from attaching BMP format files.

You get more radiation from laying out in the sun. Whoop de doo! Gimme more radiation so my skin looks nice and dark :)

The Chariot

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

Or rather He passed us.
The dews drew quivering and chill
For only gossamer, my gown,
My tippet, only tulle.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible.
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.

-Emily Dickinson

you wont get any noticeable radiation. you might get a little, but you can get the same amount from eating a overcooked hamburger (makes you think, doesnt it?).

Only about how much I would like a hamburger right now.

I'm paranoid now... /me runs to find a radiation suit :cry:

I want a manwitch please. And a manwich. And a sloppy joe.

mmm sunshine now thats some good vitamen D yo. i dunno about putting 900mhz and 2.4ghz transmitters next to my head. my moms old nokia was next to our monitor. it started ringing and the screen waked out. is that happening to my brain? prolly.

here Curi0us_George nice avatar.
i can't remember the name of the comic but i used to read it every week.
funny as hell,
so what is the name of the comic and where can i find it again?

you realize that if there were absolutly no radiation you would die. If you are going to worry about living so much then why are you afraid of dying?

i almost drove off a cliff today 3 times :)

I actually got a sunburn on my nose from my monitor (actually I'm pretty sure my monitor is at fault, since I hade been coding html and some other stuff for bout 26 hours straight .. and hadn't been outside for the entire time!) Letz hope it's nothing serious!:D

the comic is Sinfest I love the cat and dog characters, so cute!
