extopia said:You may be happy enough - but the fact is that LCD is an inferior technology to CRT for displaying video pictures, as far as motion, sharpness, color and contrast are concerned. They look good though, no doubt about that.
I have to agree - each succeeding generation of LCD comes with shorter and shorter refresh rate - a number of manufacturers now have LCDs with refresh rates of 8mm, which compare favourably to 100Hz CRT TVs. (See [broken link removed] for a chart of LCD millisecond refresh compared to a CRTs refresh rate in Hertz.)pnh said:Yes I take your points but I have to say-from what is now first hand experience that they have this LCD technology at a stage where it is now acceptable-and much of the stuff I have heard and read about motion lag-response times-contrast ratio etc.etc. is no longer a major problem.
Not enough emphasis is given to quality of signal and the source is very important.
Fo instance on ordinary NTL analogue I get a great a picture on RTE and BBC1-but BBC2 is not good-but-the same applied to my CRT .
I will concede however that some of the digital channels could be better but again my understanding is that compression and bandwidth are issues on some of these channel-so LCD is less forgiving-but overall I am very happy with it.
