I miss my old CRT! - Page 2

PsYkHoTiK · 1st Mar 2007, 02:08 AM

I don't see too much of a difference really. I really enjoy the brightness and sharpness though. Also I don't see why my panel sets the refresh at 75Hz. I thought all of them are 60Hz? :\

I did notice however, when I switch it to watch TV or anything, the res changes from 1440x900 to 1920x1080 (1080i) and the refresh drops from 75Hz to 30something. Wonder why.

My 2007FP totally pwns all my previously owned CRT in every aspects... but I never had any high end CRT to begin with so

I have no complaints with my LCD except the slight ghosting which is visible during gaming... but doesn't really matter now since I don't game much already. I don't think I will ever go back to CRTs... they are simply too large and take away too much space and IMO LCDs are better for multi-mon setups...

TV is 30fps so are movies at the cinema...

I use 19" CRT for gaming and photo editing, LCD at work for MS office, etc...

Hmm.. Colours are yeah, a totally different story. I think CRT colours are still the best.

Just go try a CRT with 85Hz, and just by moving the mouse, you can instantly tell the difference. Having higher refresh rate is not just about flicker free, it also meant that the display is more constantly updated, which is why it's smoother. You think those 100Hz TVs were gimmick?

CRT's geometry is enough to drive me nutz.

i have a 17inch sony AG tube at home, and 4 22inch sony & mitsubishi AG tube (brilliance line) in the office. probably the highest-end u will ever find in the desktop line.
sorry, never bothered to use them

u will never get perfect geometry on CRTs, which really drives me nutzzz..

of cuz, if u want color quality, nothing beats AG tube.

Hmm...geometry? Although a bit annoying (reason why I sold Samsung 753DF in 2 weeks at RM200 lost), I can live with it if it's minor. But what I actually like about LCD is the sharpness, compactness. Power consumption is not exactly very low.

Hmm.. TVs are 50Hz, unless you have the newer 100Hz TVs.
