I'll stick with my 22" Viewsonic CRT until the thing dies - for a number of reasons. 1. Flatscreens are too 'rich' and have too much contrast - they give a false image, your stuff looks 'dead' on other screens. 2. A SINGLE dead image point of a flatscreen is there forever, and will forever be a nail in your eye. The number of such dead spots will slowly increase as the screen gets older. And there are no guarantees that cover the odd spot, the manufacturers expect it and will NOT replace for less than a fair number. 3. Flatscreens cannot be run satisfactoirly at other resolutions than the recommended. Reason: they have a physically FIXED number of image points, precisely 1280x1024 for instance. This is not the case with CRT. If you need to run the flatscreen at say 1024x768 sometimes (often happens to me when I test interactive presentations I'm working on), the screen can only approximate that resolution by 'smearing' each virtual pixel across the borders of its fixed image points. This means that you lose all sharpness and text looks terrible. There is a new generation of flatscreens out there in development. In fact IBM developed a Super-high res flatscreen already some years ago, used for medical imaging and military and such, where cost is not a factor - only image quality. Then the number of points may be hundreds per inch, allowing very convincing variable resolution. But those screens are not in a normal price range at all. Yet. I have to KNOW that the presentations and videos etc I create will look right on all types of screens, right up to cinema-sized. CRT is the only way to go. So although flatscreens look sexy and take up minimal space and are 'hot' right now, I'll stay away for some time to come. :] Fish
