If you're really fussy, you'll end up returning both as neither one is perfect.themaddog said:Yeah, it seems like a battle for either plasma or lcd. I've read that plasma can cause eye strain and fatigue, but that LCD has more trouble with standard definition broadcasts.
That probably means when I do break down and get one, it's going to have to be from a big chain store to which I can return it within 30 days if I experience any of the aforementioned problems and can exchange it for the other technology.

I'm kind of surprised by your response but then again, not all CRT's were created equally either. The Sony 20" computer monitor I had was a $1500 monitor and looked amazing! I have seen many lesser makes and models that just plain sucked.cjacek said:Yeah, I did that about a year ago, to a 19" Samsung and my eyes have been thanking me ever since. It was such a strain to work with my old CRT that I couldn't take it. I also didn't like the radiation being emitted from it, especially at such close proximity. I've grown accustomed to the resolution issue.

I hear what you're saying.cjacek said:I just meant that the refresh / flicker rate was bothersome to my eyes to the point that I had to limit my time with the CRT. The LCD is constant, like a painting on the wall, that I can look at all day without any strain. Good CRT's look amazingly good but again, the way they display images, which cause eye strain and the radiation issue, inherent to such devices, is what made me change over to the LCD.
