Pfft.. 1280x1024 on a 19".. way to big.

If I ever get a 19" LCD it needs to do at least 1400x1050

You have as much chance of getting a 19" LCD as your Wife letting you wear pants

And looking high and low, I can't find a 19" that exceeds XGA, so that may give you some time to find some pants

I am still yet to see an LCD that beat a CRT for clarity, crispness and colour reproduction. Good to see these >8ms have got rid of ghosting. Not too mention with LCDs you are locked into a native res, higher or lower than this is very fugly. And 1280x1024 isn't even 4:3.

hehehe, Open your eye's,

I have a Philips 201b 20" CRT, and an Acer AL1711 17" LCD 14ms responce. (Dual Monitor Setup)
Happy uses a Philips 109P40 19" CRT, and a Philps 170S4 17" LCD 16ms responce. (Dual Monitor Setup)

And we both agree, the LCD's have far better Colour & Definition when comparing them side by side with a CRT.

CRT is finally DEAD, as I hear the masses yell yay!!!!!

Oddly enough, where selling 20x's more LCD's than CRT's

Where can I get one of these then......

Awesome, 3 Projectors, hmmm

I have 3 projectors, I may have some fun

Not wanting to start a huge LCD vs CRT debate but 5 min of Googling around the same thing comes out over and over

Picture Quality: In a few years this category could very well be a tie. Right now, LCD's still lag somewhat due to less than true colors, brightness, and lack of flexibility with resolutions.

And we haven't mentioned dead pixels. And LCDs still have that 'looking though a screen door' look too. Walk into any graphic design place, look at the monitors when watching the making of a movie program, all CRTs.

From here:

I think that High Dynamic Range Lighting is going to be the single most significant change in the visual quality over the next couple of years. It's almost as big as shading.

The reason for this is that games without HDR look flat. They should, since they are only using a range of 256:1 in brightnessÃ¢â‚¬â€

You raise some good point, be we have just out fitted a CAD division of one of our customers, and they love the change from 21" CRT's to 19" LCD (there request).
So thats one Graphics enviroment using LCD's

Also, from the 100's of LCD's we have sold, only 1 has had a dead pixel, and that was out of the box, and replaced the next business day, no questions asked.

But no point arguing, your correct, they both have pros and cons

Personally I don't think the difference in image quality is big enough to deter me from purchasing an LCD over a CRT for my next monitor purchase. But then, I don't do serious graphical work where colour accuracy is that important. Close enough is good enough for me.

As a side note, my wife works in a professional photo lab digitally manipulating all manner of imagery from photos to fine art scans...they are 100% CRT still.

I'll buy an LCD when they are cheaper than the CRT equivelent

An excellent reason, if you can still find the CRT equivalent of course. Ascent for one seem to have gone almost entirely LCD.

Well i have a samsung 19in 8ms and i thought i would just use it for lanning, so i after a week of testing i thought , umm i still perfer my crt (its a very good crt) after pluginh back my crt i was like...no way LCD is awesome.

Thinking about that Riven, a 17" LCD is just that 17"s, where as a 17" CRT is only 15.9"s, so if you do the math, the closest thing to a 17" LCD is a 19"CRT (18" viewable), and bang, the LCD is actually cheaper

19" Flatscreen CRT's are still quite expensive
