<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We started using LCD monitors about a
year ago. We have them on 15 public PC's, our Web OPAC's and most staff
PC's at our main facility and on our circulation workstations at all facilities
(that includes our branches). We use mostly Phillips and Acer 15"
monitors. So far they have held up beautifully. Minimal care and
they are used heavily. They are great space savers in the public and
circulation areas.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi,<BR>We have had LCD monitors out
about 4 months on our Internet PCs and a little over a month on our patron
PCs. We haven't had any problems so far. They take up less space and look
nice.<BR><BR>When we put the monitors out on the Internet PCs, we did not change
the CPUs. However, several patrons remarked how much they liked our new
computers and how much faster they were than the old ones..<BR><BR>We also
recently started using touch screen LCD monitors at our staff
workstations. (The patron monitors are not touch screen.)<BR></FONT><SPAN
