There's a brand new Samsung 712N sitting on someone's desktop tonight. It was time to send that ol' CRT to the closet – right on top of the ol' flatbed scanner. LCD is the only way to go – expecially when you spend most of your time sitting within Windows. Even gamers, though, should take a look at this sucker. Response time has been clocked at 12ms! I'm convincing the rest of the world to move from tubes to crystals. It's one of the best upgrades you could ever give yourself – or a loved one. Even my own monitors are jealous.

(Leo Feret) You're correct, it's no contest between CRT & LCD – CRT wins every time by my eyes. Try running a professional 17″ or larger CRT at 1600×1200 at a decent refresh rate. A color photograph with pixels from white to black shows detail and color clarity that can't be matched on an LCD. An LCD looks modern and takes up less space and power, but IMHBCO, 100 years of CRT evolution can't be beat (yet) by any LCD. And Cleartweak beats ClearType on my CRT to boot!
