I just bought 2 LCDs and they look better than all 6 of my CRTs. Don't believe the hype about CRTs being better. LCDs are great! This debate reminds me of the photographers I work with who don't want to go to digital because film is better. Yeah right. Digital cameras are better in so many ways. Maybe thery are not better in all ways but they are better in more ways just like LCDs are better in more ways than CRTs. This thread had me 2nd guessing my purchase. I'm glad I jumped in because these LCD screens look great ( better than my CRTs) and the price was great. I bought 2 19 inch LCDs with free shipping for $376 from newegg. We can measurebate the specifics all day, but IMO LCD screens are better than CRTs in many ways. I am more than happy with my purchase and more than happy that I did not buy new CRTs.
