Has anyone gone back to their CRT monitor after using a LCD for a long time?

[Redo]

I usually switch back to my CRT for gaming every now and then. I'm consistently impressed every time I go back to my CRT, and it's only a 17" eMachines (coming from a 20.1" Widescreen Viewsonic LCD).

The colors are accurate, the contrast is deep, the black levels are amazing, 100hz is INCREDIBLE for gaming, and the uniformity is unmatched compared to any LCD.


I'll go back to my 20.1" Widescreen in a few weeks just so I can get that initial LCD awe all over again. Still, does anyone simply love CRT's still?

I still have 2 17" trinitrons that I use with my desktops

No, I find crt's give me a headache now.

use a higher refresh rate

I'm using a CRT since my laptop's LCD broke. I find the colors are more accurate, but I think it's because the laptop had one of those glossy screens.

No, since I've got a S-IPS screen, my CRT looks horrible in comparison. :&

I dual screen with my thinkpad t61 notebook and my 17" dell CRT

The t61 screen looks slightly desaturated in comparison with the CRT. The notebook has a little too much contrast but it's an easy fix (still have to collaborate it).

But hands down, my notebook screen wins in the detail department. !5.4" 1680X1050 resolution looks amazing on it. Super crisp images.

I find it harder now to read text on the CRT because I am used to the super crisp text on my notebook.

The sharpness of a LCD is stunning

No, not a chance.

I'm still on my trusty Sony CRT. Been considering an LCD for some time but I sure will miss the rich colour palette that is trademark of CRTs.

After using LCD screens almost all the time for 4 years now, even professional-class crt's with 100+Hz refresh rates are a pain to look at.

I have went back to my NEC 19" CRT (well not anymore now it sits around with no use), Was suprised with how good the colors were but nah too much strain on my eyes staring at it for a long time.
BTW I would go CRT but those beast take up so much space.

No. LCDs have no refresh and also have an advantage for photo editing: each pixel on the screen corresponds exactly to a single pixel in the image. (When operating at the LCD's native resolution.)

Plus, a good LCD is so much sharper.

I used to use a CRT monitor just like most people and I loved it especially for DVD viewing. Later I got rid of it and got a LCD 17 inch which is bigger.

For DVD watching, it is not very good. Despite the smaller size, the CRT was great. Maybe I should get a bigger CRT. But my room is kinda small and I love the extra space allowed by the newer LCD.

If i had more space, I would go old school with a big CRT.

Since I don't own any crts, and they all belong to my customers, I think I'll leave them alone.
