This was true maybe 3-5 years ago. But no longer. Go to any trade show
- including graphics-oriented - and you'll find CRTs rare. On the rare
occasions I want someone else to look at my monitor, I move a bit; no
big deal. Certainly not worth hassling with a CRT. And I don't know
where you get your CRTs, but after dealing with them for 50 years now
I can agree with the NTSC moniker - Never Twice the Same Color.
While a few select people may have some overwhelming need for some
version of 'color accuracy' (whatever THAT is), most of us put that
lofty concept way down on our list. A good *looking* picture is much
more important. As well as weight and footprint.
I shall suppose that you do not work in the graphics field, and that
you also do not work in photography or photo restoration.
As to the weight of a CRT, what is the big deal? Once it is in
place, it is in place. Who needs to keep moving it? As to footprint,
you do what you gotta do. I need a large format printer, so I can't
let footprint stand in the way of that either. I have no complaints
about my set up.
BTW, I have two LCDs, but they just do not get it done for my color
work that needs a higher degree of accuracy.
