LCD vs. CRT Display

Name: Anonymous 2005-12-04 23:36

I'm in the marktet for a new computer, and I'm building in from scratch.
I'm now looking for a monitor, and I'm done a little reaserch on thje subject already...
I will be using this monitor mostly to watch movies, surf the net, play games, and maybe edit a few family photos...
My new Video Card will be something on the calibur of a 7800 GT.
My question to you is which kind of monitor gives the best display today?
I'm shooting for a 20 - 21" monitor. I'm still fond of CRTs, and currently have an old 17" KDS. Do any of the higher-end LCDs surpass higher-end CRTs in image quality. I am not too pleased with the idea of a fixed resolution or viewing angle, nor dead pixels. Are these fears well-founded?
Could you make me some recommendations an a good display..
Space isn't really a concern for me in any case.
Thank you for your time..

Flat CRT all the way. Here's a list of reasons why you should get a CRT, in no particular order:
- Better image quality
- No interpolation ever in any graphic mode
- Response time shorter than you can notice
- More contrast and easier to distinguish colors
- Can be viewed from much wider angles sideways and up/down
- Much cheaper
- Heavier, which is an advantage if you're working on a table and your lightweight monitor swings and vibrates
- Sturdy
- More durable
- No dead pixels
- Can sync many modes, including custom modes, and work at many refresh rates

Here's a list of TFT advantages over CRTs:
- It looks awesomekewl, like those Star Trek moniters, LOL!!!11one1
- You can carry it around like your cellular, LOL!
