Default Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better

I looked back at a CRT screen after being on a LCD for a while... Wow, the picture looked so warped. The advantages of a LCD... Perfect color, perfect geometry... No unused space, crisp, not blurry... If your picture is blurry, you need to adjust the phase.

Flats are catching up with CRTs, unless you have a good refresh rate, you still get ghosting images which are less likely on a CRT.

And as far as weight and bulk of CRTs - Think of it as a strength training device. "And one and two and one and two..."

Ghosting images don't happen on the newer flatscreens. The refresh rates are fast on most of the ones I've seen.

Ghosting is almost always due to a bad cable, not the screen itself.

LCDs do suffer when running at a resolution that dosen't evenly divide into the number of pixels on the physical screen. Either you need a black band, or most of the physical pixels will not line up with the signal.
