Put black background and white text and type whole screen full of h -character for example. Now look closely, is your tube aligned correctly, so you see white h, not h with a red shadow. Problem is more visible on edges of screen. I'd say even cheap LCD with DVI is unaffected with this. Then check fall-out of light intensity on edges of tube. Also LCD should be checked for this, and for backlight 'pollution' when on black background. Then put some software blinking black and white background, with lines on screen. Does frame geometry change on you tube? On tube-TV's normally it does. And some poor monitors with inadequate power supply. So you need to decide which annoys you more. Possibility of one or couple of dead pixels or blurry analog image with uneven colors. Go to movies and sometimes you can see dust in theatre's hardware. Black pixels throughout the film you paid to see.. :-) Then with video and 60Hz, that is completely ok with LCD/TFT because picture won't flicker. And applies same to 50Hz. So you don't need to play with 1920x1080@120Hz -modes which which is high bandwidth and introduces softness on analog video signals. Of course there is the color gamut thing, but I am not prepared to write about that.. :-) Some both technologies has its benefits. I prefer LCD and digital technology because it removed my head aches because of eye fatigue. And I don't like anti- aliased text on screen because it 'softens' the focus. It is better so see pixels and use resolution high enough (1600x1200). But on DVB & DVI, frame transfer chain is too perfect. All DVB encoding artifacts are too visible. That is the bad side. HDTV is much better, and nothing wins on seeing HDTV on projector (which on my case is "cheap" and not 1080-resolution.. :-) Only MPEG compression on gradients annoy. Why sunsets needs to look like coming through solarise filter? With DVB material the FF-DVB card's composite out is good way of hw anti-alias, and the output quality is ok. Maybe S-Video would reduce color bleeding more. For RGB sync on green circuitry must be built. :-( </IMO> Best regards, Jori
