Impact to global warming of LCD can be evaluated by calculating the equivalent amount of CO₂ emission for the total energy consumed during the whole life cycle of product from manufacturing to the final disposition.

LCD and CRT

Equivalent amount of CO₂ emission of LCD is almost 40% less than that of CRT. Judging from this fact we can conclude that LCD is an "Environmentally Conscious Display".
