Comparing a LCD to a normal CRT monitor they are pretty similar now IMO plus it doesn't hurt some people's eyes like cheap CRTs do. |
Well try to view low lit scenes and play dark games or view dark movies on your LCD - this is where you will come to appreciate your CRT - Remember that LCD cannot display perfect blacks because of its backlight, also causes some problems with fringing and other defects on scenes where there are very light spots against dark backgrounds - LCD companies LIE about their specs and cheat customers by misleading them ! The more expensive kind (that most people can't afford) use many backlights instead of 1 or use different technology - but one of the major drawbacks is the native resolution - with CRT you have freedom to change resolution as you want to - with LCD you are stuck at its native resolution - anything else is garbage - Have you tried viewing your old home movies and memories you archived on DVD on your LCD ? To me QUALITY is more important than space - SED would have competed well against CRT, it's too bad it's dead now - because of LCD - I do hope that advances in OLED will go further and once it does this will be the next major thing - I've actually seen OLED, and once it improves and gets bigger displays it will blow away LCD !
When I go through different LCD specs I laugh - there is still the input lag issue, viewing angles, low color gamut, and cheap, poor quality panels used on most LCDs you find sold now at Future Shop, Best Buy, etc.....
