Not sure. Never played on a LCD and never played @ any resoultion higher than 1280x1024. Sadly, a monitor is not in my top priority list currently. However, bioshock @ 1280x1024 did look so damn kick ass today. I do wonder how it would look on a big LCD.
Your needs may be different from others. CRTs are by no means dead. CRTs have certain attributes that exceed the respective performance given by an LCD. Many people require such things. Just because you don't doesn't mean others don't prefer a CRT over an LCD. When LCDs or another technology bests the CRT in every respect, you can then consider it dead, until then, it isn't...people still use B&W for certain things instead of colour too for example. It's all relative based on your needs.You forgot the reinforced desk champ.
CRT's suck for PC's.....if I had the Sony, the only LCD I'd upgrade to would be a 8 bit 24, but still, the Sony was high end, so why not dump it and "get real".
2008 isn't it

I don't need to know you, I know myself.
I guess trolling is any truthful piece of info you don't like huh?
What you don't seem to comprehend is that there are heaps of people who read these threads, and MOST of them aren't image pro's or pro gamers and couldn't care less about some of the so-called deficiencies of LCD.....let me qualify that.....even though CRT have better black levels and response times, the differences this makes to MOST people on 8 bit 24-27in LCD will be irrelevant to the overall advantages that good quality LCD bring.
LCD's strong points....
Good black levels for small screens.
very few lcd panels have good black levels, certain panels have very bad black crush, most of the time they get as good as dark grey, never really black. a 1000:1 contrast ratio is only accurate @ 500cd/m brightness which is much too bright for any person on the planet to handle. turn down the brightness, you lose contrast ratio, becoming unusable while blacks start looking like lighter grey.
Awesome and adjustable useable brightness.
brighter than the sun is never a good thing. useless selling point. the white point on my benq will not go under 170 cd/m brightness (50 cd/m over recommended photo editing brightness), in a low light room is blinding. unfixable.
Razor sharp images.
means more flaws are visible, in everything, games need to have AA enabled to look like a CRT without it, hurting performance
Lightweight and manouverable.
yes
Vivid colours.
oversaturated and inaccurate, due to a decreased RBG percentage.
Excellent asthetics.
moot point.
Night and day difference with hi-res pics/photo's.
only on very high quality expensive panels.
2nd hand CRT disadvantages....
Ugly.
picky
Bulky.
no one ever complained before lcd's.......
reliability.
BS, my HP is still going strong after 7 yrs
brightness.
more BS, crt brightness is fine, you think its bad because its not blinding.
size.
again, no one ever complained before lcd's.......
Me...I've played Far Cry, D3, Q4, Shadow ops, Toca 3, and all look awseome.....none suffer from any ghosting whatsoever, nor can I subjectively detect any input lag whilst gaming, ie, using the sniper rifle in Far Cry is a piece of cake.
until you go online
As I mentioned elsewhere, TN's aren't my cup of tea, and IMO, anything 20in and over should be a 8 bit, but that's not my choice to make.
Honestly, what possessed you to even post in this thread? No one asked for your opinion, or your "LCD Elitist" attitude. Do you think you're enlightening us about something? We can't read for ourselves, and if we do we don't understand? Obviously OUR personal experiences mean nothing when is differs from your almighty opinions...moron.
You may take some of us for fools, but by coming in here and posting your opinionated bullshit, you're the only fool we see.
