Re: [Digital BW] I hate LCD screens

2009-04-05 by Peter De Smidt

I held off getting rid of my CRT's for a long time, but eventually they 
got too dim..  To replace them, I gotta Dell 2909WA.  I like it, cheap 
as it is, better than the old Sony and Samsung CRTs.  22" is a nice 
size, being big enough for multiple windows, but not monstrously big 
like a 26" or 30". Viewing angles are very good.  Calibrated color is 
also quite good.  Sharpening web images on it gives a more realistic 
impression of what other people will see, as LCDs predominate.  My CRT's 
required much more sharpening for the image to look sharp on screen.  
When those files are viewed on an LCD, they look over sharpened.
