Slightly OT: Old CRT displays vs. new LCD

I agree, a good CRT beats a good LCD. However, when restricted to the price ranges I can afford, LCDs beat CRTs all hollow. That's why I'm using LCDs - especially since most of the stuff I do has more need for the things LCDs are good at than the things they're bad at. (Well-defined pixels and non-washed-out thin vertical lines, for example, count for more for me than high-precision colour fidelity or a really dim black level.) I haven't tossed my CRTs, though. True. For a long time I used a 1600x1280 mono Sun monitor, and it was a real joy. But years ago it dimmed into unusability, and it looks as though the next thing I'm going to be able to afford that can approach it for crispness is probably going to be some kind of flat-panel. Yes, I'd rather have a good CRT instead. But money talks loudly here. :( Perhaps I just haven't found a good source for CRT screens.... /~\ 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
