The people who
buy these things must be profoundly blind if they're
satisfied with the picture quality produced by the current
generations of plasma/LCD screens, the technology simply isn't
anywhere near good enough yet.
Well, I don't know whether they're "plasma/LCD" or not, but I find I
get dramatically better picture quality out of flat-screens as compared
to CRTs.
I don't know whether this just means every CRT I've used has been crap,
or perhaps I *am* "profoundly blind", but even if so, in my experience
the comparison stands.
I use a high-end flat-panel at work and a high-end CRT at home and my
experience suggests that good ones still aren't quite as fast as the
*best* CRTs, and they can't compete with phosphor persistence for
smoothness but the difference is very quickly going away. It won't be
long before there's effectively none. Any top-end CRT (of which they
don't make many anymore -- a shame -- I buy mine used nowadays) will
also have easily higher resolution than a flat panel of similar size.
But the flat panels use *soo* much less power.
Try mine. Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2040u.
