Re: CRT or LCD monitor for best video display?

If your LCD monitor has intelligent upscaling, and you view it
from the same distance (in screen widths) as your CRT monitor,
then you should not notice any significant resolution difference.
(Upscaling preserves information, downscaling destroys it.)

And an LCD will provide perfect linearity and geometry, so you
will never again see any waviness or compression on pans or crawls.

Look at a few LCD displays showing HD and SD content, watching
for color, sharpness, brightness (on- and off-axis), and lag, and
pick the one that looks the best. It may not be the most expensive. ;-)

If watching SD video then a plain old CRT TV will look better since the 480i SD Video does not have to be upscaled to the native resolution of the LCD monitor by inventing the content of the additional pixels in the LCD native resolution. If you are using an HDTV tuner card or are using the screen for a PC desktop then the LCD will look better.

Well, I just returned two lcd monitors and went back to the old sony
crt. They were nice with the computer hook up but not too good with
video. Plasma looks good, but I am going to wait for something better
than lcd or till lcd gets better.
