Just wondering is all.
I came back to my Dell/Sony Trinitron P1110 (22" 2048x1536@75hz) after a long hiatus of trying to find the perfect LCD. Actually didn't use it for so long I forgot how gorgeous it is...truly wondering now why I even bothered with putting in the closet (I guess I just wanted newer tech and had "The Itch"). 2048x1536 is a sight to behold (no need for AA at this res!) and the ability to still be able to run widescreen up to 1200p is a plus when gaming.
Either way just curious if any [H]ard members are still using one. I've decided that unless I need something bigger (which I don't) or until OLED comes around I'm sticking with this one.
IPS has glow and bad contrast when I owned one and MVA has good contrast but the viewing angles put me off. Not to mention backlight bleed with most LCD's. With the CRT though I get the best of all worlds...deep black contrast, perfect colors, high refresh rate, etc...only problem is size and weight, but I never move it so it's a non-issue.
Also helps that I bought mine a little over a year ago brand new and even then didn't use it much (maybe a few months max)...so mines basically brand new with ZERO signs of use.
Anyways...I guess CRT was too [H]ard for most members! Like I said, now that I've got it back up and running again and have it calibrated I have no desire to go LCD again!
CRT really is the best display tech once you get over the bulk...in my opinion of course.
