Q: Should I upgrade or buy new?
A: An interesting Question. There are 2 things to look at when at computers. The first major issue with older computers is that can't handle today's technology, so upgrading would not be a wise option. The other major issue is servicing and warranty, when you have an older machine, most companies will tell you buy a new one.

Q: What is an LCD Monitor and how long do they last?
LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) is patented Digital Screen that is revoluting the world. LCD displays utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. The average life of the screen is 60,000 hrs which would 6-7 years. The advantages of having an LCD Monitor are it's space efficent, it has a much more crisp picture and it's easier on the eyes. Great for Graphics designer and gamers.
