Re: CRTs not being made, what LCD for future?

2005-03-18 by Djon

...many have found various inexpensive Samsung Synchmasters
satisfactory. I do fwiw...I have a 192n from Office Depot.. Size is
critical and LCDs are far more effective than much larger CRTs for
detail viewing (compare any good laptop with a much bigger CRT).

LCDs are generically far more stable than CRTs, they don't emit
significant heat. CRTs are electric heaters, same as old TV sets. LCDs
 don't have "sweet spots" because they don't have to overcome CRT's
antique projection system concept (the little knob at the back of the
CRT projects on the big screen).


> I calibrate of course---but am wondering from those that have
switched from CRT to LCD what you are finding as to being able to
calibrate to your standards (I tend to find this group has 'high'
standards for the most part).
