Most 1280x1024 monitors are CRTs as well.

no, i am using a slightly old dell flat(ish) screen moniter

Yeah, I think a lot of laptops and early LCD screens tended to be 1280x1024.  My absolutely ancient Dell CRT has that listed as the native resolution too...even though the physical dimensions of the visible screen surface are 4:3.  Go figure.

[Klaustrophobia]

I really miss CRTs.  It's really too bad they are so damn big and heavy.  The image is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.

[Mongoose]

I can safely say that this hunk of junk's image is no longer anywhere close to "better."  I have a permanent taskbar burn-in going.

[Flipside]

To be honest, I would say that my Flatscreen gives a better image, but have found the working life to be shorter than a CRT.

[Klaustrophobia]

i guess maybe colors are generally better on a LCD (as long as you're looking straight on), but OH GOD THE MOTION IT'S SO FLUID on CRT's.  and the aforementioned jaggies not being nearly as bad.  that REALLY surprised the hell out of me when i switched from CRT at 1024x768 to LCD at 1680x1050 that aliasing was way, way worse.  i'd guess the color and contrast and what have you could have advanced and been just as good on CRTs if they continued to be developed.

The image is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.

I can't stand the flickering of CRT displays they exhibited even at relatively high refresh rates. When our workplace was still using CRT's (feels like a forever ago), I could spot across a room which of two displays was using 85Hz and 120Hz. Anything below 85Hz was unbearable to watch even briefly.

Unfortunately notebooks have flickering issues too under certain circumstances. My older work laptop has flickering on second external monitor. My newer work laptop's display flickers if the laptop is operating on battery. In both cases it makes me want to throw the damn thing out of a window.

As for smoothness of motion, you guys should try LED display that supports true 120Hz. I bought Benq XL2420T for playing games and I haven't regretted it. Motions are a lot more fluid than in 60Hz displays.

The XL2420T also has incredibly handy handle. It's so easy to reposition it for purposes of watching porn.

It's funny you mention the flickering, because it's something that my parents never noticed about the ancient family computer's monitor, whereas it bugged the hell out of me as soon as I walked into the room.  I'm fine with 85, but anything below that is immediately noticeable.

[Flak]

Most people won't notice the screen flicker normally, but you will feel that your eyes will feel 'tired' after a while.

Have you tried 120 hz LCDs? Apperently they have that fluid motion too.
