CRTs still beat the crap out of LCD or plasma when it comes to
reproducing colour. The flat screen stuff always looks like the colour
has been laid on afterwards as a sort of molten plasticky layer, with
scant regard for fine tone - a bit like a child's first go at painting
by numbers. CRTs make a vastly better job of this.

They also avoid the 'crinkly' effect of the display pixels being obviously
visible as a set of rectangles. Personally, I find this very uncomfortable
to view. I've also continued with a CRT monitor on my computer as a result
of finding this effect hurts my eyes.

Difficult to say more about the displays since whenever I go into a shop
that has them, they seem to be set up with the contrast, brightness, and
colour wound up to max, regardless of display type. The result is uniformly
dreadful.

Slainte,
