Quote - LCD.  No question, no debate.

Especially with the add-ons you can get with LCDs these days.  My flat-panel at work not only has built-in USB hub, it has a multiple card reader, can be plugged in directly to a HD source to watch TV, uses less power, takes up less space...

On my 20" LCD at home, I play first person shooters with zero problems, watch video and whatever.  It's better than the 20" CRT I use as a secondary monitor sitting next to it.

At this stage, I'm beginning to think that the people extolling the virtues of CRTs are like the people who insist tubes are far superior to transistor when it comes to audio.

No, there is a debate.  Didn't you read any of my replies.  LCDs are definitely more expensive and you'll pay to get higher screen resolutions (I couldn't work on a 1024x768 display ever again).  Dead pixels are still an issue. Maybe the technology is improving to where this is less and less of a concern, but a dead pixel is a replaced LCD.  There is no such thing on a CRT.

Who cares about 'add-ons'.   Did you buy your car because it had an 8-track, CD, and tape player?  That just doesn't make sense.

I'm not a 'luddite' - but I also don't agree with you on the tubes over transistors for guitar amps, particularly.   As a player of 25 years, I've heard them all (from Pignose to Micro to Marshall to Crate to Line 6 to Peavey to Fender to Vox and on and on).  The best sound came from a Marshall with pre and power amp tubes (and 12" Celestion speakers). :)

To each his own (opinion).

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
