Reply #21: Hardly. 19" CRT here. [View All]

[Deja Q]

LCD screens are prone to having dead pixels. When a pixel remains black or solid red, that gets annoying in a hurry. and it takes more than a handful of dead pixels to get the company to replace their POS when it starts to lose pixels.

CRTs also look crisper than LCDs...

A 19" CRT is much more likely able to support higher resolutions that a LCD of the same dimension. I have yet to see a 19" monitor that can display 1600x1200, though it's been a few months since I bothered looking.

Nor are they limited to 60Hz frequency, although on a LCD display this doesn't seem to be as important...

I am aware that LCDs have some big advantages though (size and power consumption) and for most intents and purposes are quite nice...
