I was just doing some work on my Beige G3 attached to
an HP 98789A
17" monitor sitting next to a PC with a brand-new wide-screen LCD and
a NVidia DVI-output AGP card.
What struck me was how smooth the color rendition was with the CRT (I
think it's a Sony under the HP badge) compared to the LCD. Sure, the
LCD has more pixels and is very sharp, but the HP analog tube seems
to be much more pleasing to the eye.
Am I imagining this or have others noticed the same thing? Is this
another case of vinyl-vs-CD? I don't own an LCD TV and after this
experience am not tempted to get one.
I figure this is fair game for the list, as the G3 is over 10 years
old and the HP monitor much older than that.
I dunno but I've been staring at this laptop screen for a number of months
now, while I search for which box has the boards that were in my workstation
that I need to rebuild.
I expect I'll get that round tuit one of these days and then I'll have a
side-by-side comparison as well.
This is my first extensive use of other than a monitor, so it should be
interesting going back again.
I do know that Sony stuff does seem to work very nicely overall. I have a tv
in the room here that I brought with me when I left NYC -- back in 1978! The
tube is a bit worse for wear, but it mostly works just fine.
