LCD does not meet let alone exceed quality CRTS on contrast ratio or color accuracy/gamut. Even the worlds finest LCDS.
Yes Sony makes some even better CRTs but these are simply incredible when it comes to display of deep blacks and specualar highlights... jco -----Original Message----- From: Adam Maas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2005 7:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Modern PC hardware, Was: Re: Full Frame Even then, those are not really high-end CRT's, midrange really ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). And those will not match the performance of the best 20" and 23" LCD's on the market today, which don't cost all that much, you can get a Dell 20" 16x10 format LCD for $500ish USD if you pay attention to Dell's 1 Day sales. A 20" 4:3 LCD will match the resolution of your Dell monitor and a 23" will exceed it (1920x1200). Either will match the a CRT like the P991 for colour accuracy and contrast. Also you don't normally get a Warrantee from eBay. However, if you want a deal, look for pro 21" and 22" monitors on eBay. I got my Cornerstone P1600 (21" [EMAIL PROTECTED], .22" dp) essentially for free with a G3 Mac I bought a couple years ago off eBay. And that's a Monitor that retailed for $1000-ish when new. -Adam J. C.
