Is there any reason to get a flat screen monitor - GoFuckYourself.com

besides saving space? You just save a couple of inches of space with it right? Is the picture quality better than a CRT?

Depends on the model as far as picture cuality goes but it's a marketing ploy and keeping up with the hendersons kind of thing...

Steen2 · 10-19-2004, 11:00 PM

I thought CTR is supposed to be better quality image?

Marcus · 10-19-2004, 11:02 PM

my eyes do hurt when i look at the screen too long, but I dont know if it's going to be better for my eyes to use a flat screen.

The moment you replace your two 19 inch monitors with flat screens, you rediscover your desk, and all that extra real estate that goes with it.

yeah flat screens save up space and they're pretty nifty to look at too

A glass CRT typically has better resolution and is easier on the eyes. Much better for doing graphics. Let's make that resolution per dollar spent.

I have an NEC Diamondtron and am happy. Wouldn't trade it in on an LCD. Fuck the desk space.

CRT is better for looking a numbers and text too. Take a close look at a cheap LCD and you'll see what I mean.

I think refresh on a CRT is alot more noticealble and eye straining then a flat panel...

I can go 20 hours no problem with my 20" dell flat panel... my sony 19" crt would make me look like I was stoned

wdsguy · 10-20-2004, 01:33 AM

its easier to move around than a bulky monitor especially when u have to move.

Also just looks cooler on your desk

Idea! Turn up the refresh rate on the CRT to 75Hz.

LCD flat screens blow away CRT's. Everything is much more vibrant and 3d looking. Better color saturation. Sharper text.

I can't even look at CRT's now. I've tossed mine all in the junk pile.

The new Sony's with XBrite technology do a drop dead gorgeous image.

Personally I'm a huge fan of Envision Monitors. They are priced well and just look really great in side by side comparisons.

Also, Samsung and NEC are top of the line.

I'm a fan of flat screen LCD. My eyes never hurt, there is no flicker and they save a hell of a lot of space. Besides that, everything is much sharper.

I don't agree if you get a higher end CRT. IT also doesn't count if the CRT has a few years on it, they blur....

I've worked with both.

Exceptions as always. If you spend enough money on that LCD...

60hz will give you a headache in no time.

CRT has a better picture, especially for gaming. Flat panel monitor is better for space saving.

Agree Turbo!

The LCDs are catching up

Took a look at Sony's XBright after KRL posted. I find that he typically knows what he is talking about....

The Sony LCd had:
Maximum non-interlaced resolution: 1280 x 1024

and the other specs were not bad either.

My NEC CRT still has more display resolution. I currently work at 1280 x 1024 on my aging FP912. That would be max out for the Sony.
