On: LCD displays still don't match the responsiveness ...

[WalterBright]

I used CRTs for maybe 20 years. Once I acquired an LCD, that was the end of CRTs for me. I didn't like the weight, the size, the heat, the warmup time, the power consumption, the whine from the flyback transformer, the resolution, or the fuzzy fonts.

The LCD beats it in every metric. Even in price - I can get an LCD monitor for $10 from the thrift store.

P.S. I can't hear the whine anymore in a CRT. Gettin' old.

I tend to think of the heat from the song “Sleeping is the only Love” by the Silver Jews

“I had this friend his name was Marc with a C, his sister was like the heat coming off the back of an old TV”
