Anyone know anything about old TEC Terminals?

By "flat-screen" I mean something like "display with width and height significantly greater than front-to-back depth", not "display with physically flat viewing surface"; furthermore, from context, I don't think it's all that great a stretch to also read it as "...as contrasted with CRTs, and therefore not including CRTs", which I did mean (while I understand CRTs that fit that description do exist, they are quite rare). Perhaps I should call them "flat panel" instead. I don't know whether the displays I'm talking about are LCDs, plasma, TFT, LED, or what - for all I know some of those are susbets of others, even. I don't know what kind of flat-panel technology I'm talking about. But I not so very long ago paid about $200 for a brand-new 1280x1024 flat panel that is substantially better, to my eye, than any CRT I would expect to get for a comparable amount of money. Possibly it's not LCD; I don't know. (It's an Acer AL1716B. I've also used a Dell something-or-other at work, and find it comparable.) In my experience, flat panels are roughly on a par with CRTs for colour registration. (I'm perfectly willing to believe this means the CRTs I've used need adjustment, but it's still true.) Black level is mildly annoying, but only very mildly - and I'm totally willing to put up with it for the sake of crisp pixel edges and no fading of thin vertical lines (each of which has been a near-universal problems with CRTs in my experience). Response time is not really an issue for me. They've got it down under 10ms, and with a vertical retrace rate of 76Hz (I just checked, that's what I'm using), there's no point worrying about differences under about 13ms (1000ms/76). I find it no worse than the blurring from phosphor persistence on CRTs. (For relatively recent panels, that is, such as the ones I bought. I've got a couple of old machines with built-in flat-panel displays with substantially worse persistence issues.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
