Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
I looked back at a CRT screen after being on a LCD for a while... Wow, the picture looked so warped. The advantages of a LCD... Perfect color, perfect geometry... No unused space, crisp, not blurry... If your picture is blurry, you need to adjust the phase.

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
Flats are catching up with CRTs, unless you have a good refresh rate, you still get ghosting images which are less likely on a CRT.
And as far as weight and bulk of CRTs - Think of it as a strength training device. "And one and two and one and two..."

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
Ghosting images don't happen on the newer flatscreens. The refresh rates are fast on most of the ones I've seen.

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
Ghosting is almost always due to a bad cable, not the screen itself.
LCDs do suffer when running at a resolution that dosen't evenly divide into the number of pixels on the physical screen. Either you need a black band, or most of the physical pixels will not line up with the signal.

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
Abra-ca-dabra... threadius necromancius...
I experienced a major problem 2 weeks ago that took out my main 17" monitor, my motherboard's PCI bus and my C  ive.
Needless to say I've got some new stuff.
I bought 2 Samsung Syncmaster 740B flatpanel monitors at buy.com. I had read reviews about the remarkable 8ms refresh rate and decided not to invest in "old technology" (read CRT).
Now, I have been against LCD's since I first saw them. Milky, fuzzy, slow, ghost images, PRICE!!, etc. I'll tell you what though, I've changed my mind. These phongers are bright, crisp, and fast!!
I recommend this monitor to anyone in the market for new ones.

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
I don't think posting to a thread that's been idle barely a month rises to the level of thread necromancy.

That's only a minor hit on your "street cred", Turin.

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
I just felt silly yanking it out of page 3 or 4 or wherever it was, so I did the wavey-armey-magic-wandey thing to detract negative attention from myself...

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
Don't forget LCDs produce much less heat
This could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the season and where you are... let's just say that in the summer I WISH I had LCD displays for my computers. |

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
I have a big old CRT taking up tons of space, spitting out heat, shooting electrons through me, etc. However, it was much cheaper than LCDs  |
