Tim: >> If you do any graphic work, LCDs are crap. The colours/shading/etc >> change radically depending on your angle of view. This is true of older Twisted Nematic LC panels but false for many modern panels. The viewing angle problem has been dramatically reduced in the past 3 years, esp. on high-end panels like (for example) Sharp Corp. makes. For example, Multi-domain Vertically Aligned (MVA) technology has very nice angle properties---at the expense of LC response time. (No free lunch.) The statement that LCDs "are crap" for serious graphics work is simply not true any more. High-end LC panels _far_ exceed CRTs in every category (e.g., brightness, colour gamut, tone scale, MTF, dynamic range) except response time, and with "overdrive" and the new "flashing backlight" techniques on the horizon, even that barrier will soon be gone. CRT technology, like the vacuum tube in general, is essentially dead. Dean ---- Dean S.
