FGOKURULES Posted January 31, 2006 CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 I love the clarity of CRT, and the longevity of it. LCD"s are cool and small but I think there are not as clear as CRTs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted January 31, 2006 CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 CRT'S also have better responce time but are not as compact as lcd's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilatedpeoples28 Posted January 31, 2006 CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 if u want the best possible picture then look no further than the CRT's but the LCD's are coming around now with better response times and better contrast ratios, one example of this is the Dell 2405FPW.

Pez D Spencer Posted January 31, 2006 CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ive got a 2405FPW and its completely awesome. My biggest problem with CRT's were the fact that they must refresh and that means they will flicker. I've seen some people that are completely comfortable with a 60Hz refresh but anything below 100Hz and I get an instant headache. This is a problem because most monitors wont run anything above a 1280x1024 resolution without a refresh rate of less than 100Hz. With this LCD I can play games at the native res of 1920x1200 completely headache free. Of course Dell has recently released the 3007FPW 30 inch LCD but IMO a monitor that big is stupid. I mean, with this 24 you have to scan back and forth a lot as it is just to take it all in. With a 30 you'd need a neckbrace from all that looking around. The alternative would be to sit 4 or 5 feet back from it but thats just as retarded. The 24 inch is big as well as functional. Besides, this 24 incher was nearly a grand which I felt was too steep in the first place. Theres no way I'd pay over 2 grand for a 30 inch.

tommie gorman Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 If you have kids like I do CRT is the only way to go (maybe not for gaming) but I don't have to worry about them sticking an ink pen into the screen. So I have a 19' and it was relatively much less expensive$$$ Just scooted desk away from wall another 6'. Great for me!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted February 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 I mean on my desktop I have a 17" CRT and works well with my needs, I had an option to go LCD but personally I believe VGA going into CRT over LCD looks superb. Not knocking Lcd's But there too expensive and offer nothing more than just space.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 If I had to go LCD then it would be one of the Dell ws screens or maybe even one of apples cinema displays.. those are amazing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
