    TFT LCD.

    Am using a 22" widescreen by Acer right now and it is orgasmic. Too bad I bought mine for around $300. Good ones are now often on sale for like $170.

    Re: CRT v LCD

    I used to love CRTs for the main reason that they have a better image quality, but I recently got a 24" LCD and I quite like it. I wouldn't mind using either one.

    LCD displays have a longer life span then a CRT display. What CRT displays are good for are true colors. The best LCD displays can only do 95% of the color requirement for NTSC singles. CRTs do the 100% minimum and the good ones do it even higher.

    Though I prefer LCDs. I've been using them for years now. In fact most of the displays we have in this house is LCD. We got about 10 LCD displays and 3 CRT ones here. This is including TVs.

    Re: CRT v LCD

    Hmm from experience I've seen broken CRT screens they break in al kings of ways:
    1. The screen going dark
    2. The screen going red, green or blue
    3. The screen going thin
    4. The screen Flickers or moves (Really anyoing lol)
    5. And finally the good old bang and smoke (No screen at all)

    These are the only ones I've seen from a LCD
    1. Flickering
    2. Ghosting
    3. Not working at all (In the same subject as band and smoke but no bang and smoke just not turning on)

    EDIT: Anyone else got any experiences with broken CRT's or LCD's if so post them (A picture would be wonderful if you can)

    Re: CRT v LCD

    Cheap LCDs tend to "bleed" out light where they aren't suppose to depending on the layout of the screen (newegg LCD reviews are a good place to look at for details). Some times they die pixel by pixel as well. You can attempt to cure it with a pixel massage, but I've never really had much luck in that. </end>

    Depends. If it's a space thing then LCD, if not then CRT. CRT is always quicker, and like NoPeace said, CRT will show you all the colors, a good CRT will give you perfect black, but i haven't seen a LCD yet that can do that, and i doubt it ever can.

    Not good ones... cheap ones are for sale at 170 :-) You spend good money on good screens :-)



    Biggest hnady part of an LCD is size and energy usage: Here is an image I spliced together with the last 2 man mini-lan I did with my brother over at his house. My screen: Samsung 226BW 22" widescreen (High Quality), and his is a 20" CRT.

    Re: CRT v LCD

    that CRT weighs every bit of 60 lbs, as opposed to the much wider screened LCD, which weighs a quarter of that. I do have a couple more pictures of it.. but I deemed those two as worthy of putting together for it.

    Go LCD unless your a photoshop editor.. then a CRT is your friend.

    Like the screen was turning to black in 30 min and you needed to shut down the computer then wait a few mins.He went whit it in service they said they've repaired then after 2 days same problem.

    Then he bought a CRT and didn't had a problem whit it.

    LCD's will never have a perfect black. Why? Because they use back lights to light up the screen. That is what causes the loss of blackness.

    The only time you will get true blacks on a small panel is when the OLEDs come out as they are of a complete different technology which does allow it.

    Not to mention they produce near perfect color like how a CRT does it and is only a few mm thick.

    Re: CRT v LCD

    Thats where plasmas win there
    But plasma screens can get burn in very easily.
    What burn in you ask?
    Where a image is faintly on your screen from displaying it before for a long period of time.
