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..... |
Yeah I know, but I've become used to it, nor am I super picky. Just like the typical user wouldn't care.
As per videos, my HD4850 does a pretty nice job at making things look decent so it's not that bad.
I've seen Sony's OLED display (the 10" one or whatever) and it has superb colours though I could notice a very distinct flicker to it. Rather annoying and hopefully they can fix that up once they start making
usable sizes.
