It's a pain to cart around, but I love my 10-year-old 2048x1536 CRT, and am alternately amused and saddened that modern displays still have a smaller smallest dimension.



New technologies are usually better in some aspects in worse in others. Like LCD was a lot better for the thickness factor, but it took ages to make them the same quality as CRT and for the same reasonable price.

Now we're seeing this with OLED displays, too. Much better contrasts, and even having some special properties like being bendable, but cost more than regular LCD's or even IPS LCD's.


I had one of those at home. I took the hit on resolution and color to go LCD because the LCD's at work didn't make me feel as tired as the high-res CRT at home did.


I had the opposite; for a long time LCDs gave me headaches, I think because they were all 60Hz. (Recently I've bought a laptop with a 120Hz display, which doesn't give me headaches).
