When will LCD's equal in performance to CRT's

[Raczyk]

It appears to me that LCD's are inferior to the CRT's in all aspects except for size and power dissipation. How long will it take for LCD's to be on a par with CRT's? You think its a better idea to get a 19" CRT instead of a much more expensive and inferior LCD?

how are they inferior?

In a lot of ways

- less contract ratio
- smaller range of colour spectrum
- afterglow
- occational dead pixels
- smaller viewing angle than CRT (getting to be less of a problem)
- predefined resolution

I learned this from reading the guides and I am not sure if i still want a LCD anymore. The guide i read was "Comparison Of 15" LCD Monitors - Part I", it is written over a year ago. I am definite that LCDs has gotten a lot better, but i am still not sure since i havent gotten the time to do follow up research on other websites. From what i have seen though, the pixel response time (similar to the refresh rate on CRT) is getting better and 16ms is common on viewsonic 17".

Anyways~ i still have my doubts on LCD until the next guide for displays comes out.

I am more or less feeling the same way, i have a 9500 Pro and would Love to have a second monitor, and right now my current MAC monitor might be giving me trouble, so i have been concidering getting an LCD but as you saw they seem to be well inferior...

I too think i'll be waiting for the next LCD Review and will be hoping that there is a good comparison of the CRT's

ASUS P4S8X - P4 2.4B - 2 x 512M DDR333 - ATI 9500 Pro(Sapphire) - WD 80G HD (8M Buffer) - SAMSUNG SV0844D 8G HD - LG 16X DVD - Yamaha F1 CDRW - Iomega Zip 250 int.
