Hi,
....but the difference is very quickly going away. It
won't be
long before there's effectively none....
Ah, but how long before *cheap* (sub ?130) LCD monitors reach that level of
performance?
Considering how cheaply CRT monitors can be had now, e.g. this 17" Hansol
I'm using now cost me just ?20 brand new, I'm not prepared to pay more than
?100ish for *any* LCD monitor.
....also have easily higher resolution than a flat
panel of similar
size....
Not to mention that using an LCD flat panel at anything other than it's
native resolution causes all sorts of horrible atrifacting problems - which
is currently the second biggest problem with LCD TV sets (the biggest being
the unreliability of the back-lighting).
....But the flat panels use *soo* much less power.
Ah, but they also take up *SO* much less space....this 17" CRT I'm using now
is huge, and my 21" monitor is so big I can't currently use it thanks to
space constraints. :-(
TTFN - Pete.
