Hrm - I use both, and here's what I've found... I have the following screens that I see Poser stuff with: - 25" (23" viewable) NEC SVGA Accusync @ 88 pixels per inch and 1400x1024 resolution. It is fed by a GeForce 2 MX 400 card. - 15" Dell Inspiron 8100 (laptop) XVGA LCD monitor @ 124 pixels per inch and 1400x1024 resolution. It gets fed by the onboard GeForce2Go mobile video card. It is also semi-polarized, as many laptop screens are, to afford a small measure of viewing privacy in public places. This is what I've found... Brightness: The LCD screen is usually much brighter and of higher contrast by default. The CRT OTOH tends to be a bit darker, and even the best CRT's will tend to 'wash out' darker hues if you make it equal to the LCD in brightness. Colors (General): The CRT is on top here, with the colors much warmer and much more able to blend into each other, creating an eye-pleasing picture... and color depth is much better on an LCD. The colors of the same image on an LCD may tend to be starker, less smooth. Moire (color gradients that look choppy): If you use just generic video drivers, or use a resolution set that doesn't quite jibe with your actual screen size, you will more easily see Moire in an LCD screen. CRT's are more capable of handling mismatches and ill-fitting drivers. There is hope for LCD, though - to cure this you either use the driver that comes with the monitor and vidcard, or in some OS GUI settings (like in Linux' /etc/X11/XF86Config) you simply state the exact screen size (in millimeters) and the Moire goes away. Moire is nowhere near as big a problem in CRT screens, but I did have to tweak my laptop LCD screen heavily to make it go away. Viewability: Depending on te quality of the LCD screen, this can be a factor or not... Macintosh LCD screens are awesome in their ability to maintain viewability at any concievable angle, whereas a cheap LCD screen will force you to move your head around to get an overall idea of color flow from top to bottom of your render, unless your head is in a certain position relative to the monitor. For instance, with the laptop in my lap, no sweat, but if I'm on the floor with it, I gotta bob my head or flip the monitor up and down a bit to get an idea of the color blending. contrast and sharpness: LCD wins by a huge margin... you simply won't get anything near the 'paper-cut' kind of sharpness in a CRT, no matter how much it costs. But, in summary, I still use and enjoy both... the LCD for its convienience and technical strengths, the CRT for its color warmth, size, and ability to accurately portray natural gradients and color balance. HTH a little, /P
