Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer

When an LCD is not at its native screen resolution it is not sharp. They are tuned for a specific resolution. CRT's are unbelievably sharp! LCD's are sharp I have an LCD TV. But do not forget CRT's are not just TV's they are much sharper and have a better resolution than TV's. Stewart At

Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer

You can do this with an LCD as well. It's just that you probably don't want to, because the picture is sharper if you use the screen's native resolution. In either case, the picture is probably a lot sharper than a CRT. Hard to believe until you actually try it. > I prefer a CRT because I can adj

Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer

CRT's are still readily available. Look at NewEgg, Tiger Direct and a few others. The big difference is that their prices are way down. I prefer a CRT because I can adjust the screen resolution to what I want, not what is native to the LCD screen. I presently have a 19" for what a 14" cost

Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer

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

Both companies were reporting where their profit was. Apple was reporting how many shipped to AT$T, while AT$T was stating how many were sold/activated. Both are true. To me the true number is how many activated. This is like on books, some say 3 million in print (2 million in warehouses) and
