Re: [Digital BW] LCD vs. CRT

2004-11-01 by Don Marcotte

The main criticism of LCD screens has been their low contrast ratios versus CRTs. I can certainly see a huge difference between my wife's laptop screen and my Sony Trinitron monitor. When I last looked a few months ago, they were getting better. Do any LCD monitors match CRTs for image editing?

And the price?

Were there any defective pixels?
