Slightly OT: Old CRT displays vs. new LCD

Rumor has it that Jay West may have mentioned these words: You saw one on my CoCo3 almost a year-n-a-half ago! ;-) Admittedly, the LCD wasn't vintage. Technically, neither was the gizmo that makes it work... ;-) Which, BTW, if you'd ever used Tandy's CM5 or (not as bad, but still not great) CM8 monitors, you'd realize that an RGB->VGA upconverter run into a 17" LCD display running a "stretched" 640x480 into the native 1280x1024 _still_ looks much better, with less eyestrain! Most of y'all had access to nice workstation stuff earlier than I did - I worked with 106 columns on a nice, fuzzy .42mm dot pitch 13" CRT. That'll give ya headaches after a while! Tandy's CM5 (.51mm dot pitch) IMHO wasn't suitable for even 80-column use! I *love* my VGA & SVideo upconverters for my CoCo. Much better than the alternative! =-=-=-= Wasn't there a vintage color LCD available (but expensive) for the Apple ][ c or e series? I thought there was mention of that fact on the list in the past... but I haven't searched the archives, and I never really got into the Apples other than working on the ones the school had at the time.
