But if you want CRT quality in a bigger screen check out the Pioneer Kuro plasma's
I hear that Pioneer is the best and Panasonic is also great... I just got a good deal on 50" Phillips plasma and the black level is disappointing.

I have had the pleasure of using the Dell 3007wfp and I must say that it "wow'ed" me. For graphics design, a 30" monitor is highly desirable. I very much preferred having all of my work on the one monitor versus my dual monitor setup. For gaming and movies, however, I found myself sitting further back from the monitor, effectively giving me the same effect as sitting closer to a smaller monitor.
you can see more because the image isn't as compressed via the small size of the display....
The main problem with LCDs is black levels, they havent even come close to a CRT yet especially when you have them side by side (like I do now).
But if you want CRT quality in a bigger screen check out the Pioneer Kuro plasma's ..I just bought a 50" and, take it from a die-hard CRT fan, these plasmas absolutely rock and have by far the best non-crt black levels on the market.
while i wholeheartedly agree with you here i do have to say that the NEC lcd i have has the best black levels i've seen on any lcd to date, even @ 800:1 contrast ratio. use the spectraview software w/ a colormeter and its actually very close to the HP crt i have in my sig.
its actually quite impressive coming from a super picky black level snob like myself
Which part of black levels are over-rated on small monitors don't people understand.........
The part where what you're suggesting doesn't make sense
I'd say we're still ~3 years away from that though being available on affordable monitors, although I hope it comes sooner.
i still have an old 17'' CRT...i would upgrade to lcd but i just don't have the funds
Which part of black levels are over-rated on small monitors don't people understand.........good quality 720p and 1080i looks 3D like on my LCD.
I repeat....despite CRT's superior black levels, my Acer destroys it because of superior size, brightness and VISIBLE RESOLUTION.
ive got a nice 19" crt i retired only because the screen is so scratched and such. is there anyway to polish the screen to a near new finish? if so ill bring back my crt
You could try one of the glass polishing kits. But if the anit-glare coating is de-laminating or is heavily gouged, you're usually out of luck.anyone?

You are comparing a crap CRT you had to a rather expensive LCD you currently have. Get back to me when you've tried a 24" widescreen CRT monitor like the one I have. The resolution on that thing is still better than your 26" LCD. I only run my desktop at 1920x1200 at 98hz, but it goes higher than that. Last time I took this thing to a LAN party (which was Quakecon), I still had people envious of it.
Hey, wait a minute...since so many of us here use inferior LCD screens, how can we see the difference you allegedly claim exists in your picture?

If there really is a picture.
anyone?
For those of us that actually care about PQ poor black levels wont cut it regardless of screen size..
In fact Ive never heard anyone even remotely attempt to claim poor black levels are Ok if its a smaller monitor.. I mean... Hello?
My those are bold words. I just can't imagine your Acer destroying the Sony FW900 or even my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070sb. Can you honestly say that the Acers image quality destroys the monitors listed above?
No. I can see it on both my CRT and LCDs. Apparently no one can see the humor, tho. Jeeez. Lighten up people! Except, LCD users, you've already gone too far.You really claim you can't make out the TFT on the right and the CRT on the left?
anyone?
You can call it poor black levels till the cow comes home, me, I'm loving the PQ despite the spec sheet.
I'm pointing out that there are a lot of people on this forum and other forums who've adopted the mentality that only when a screen meets or exceeds CRT's specs, will they be happy......well whilst you're waiting, me and others are enjoying superior performance for the reasons I've repeatedly mentioned.
There are some people who're unhappy with the black level performance of 70in SXRD Sony....so it must be pointed out that some people have self appointed themselves as videophiles, but others want an upgrade from old, small, bulky, dull CRT.
I could tell that my old PC CRT was getting dull,even my CRT TV was much brighter, but my LCD slams them both with brightness, sharpness, natural viewing angles and the ability to take advantage of higher resolution by virtue of it's extra size.
Why are CRT and DLP fans constantly bugging us about blacks? Blacks are probably least important for what I do with a computer monitor.
Why are CRT people always talking about blur. Here's an experiment. Place your hand in front of your field of vision. Look straight. Now move your hand back and forth while still looking straight forward. Does your hand blur or not? If it doesn't, you are Clark Kent.
Yep the bottom line is that EVERYTHING will work good and look good on a CRT, the same cannot be said for an LCD regardless of how large the screen is.
