CRT for higher hertz (faster refresh). LCD for saving space.

LCD's will never be as good for gaming as crt's until they can produce a 100hz image, which can match the smoothness of a crt.

i dont want another one of those "REFRESHRATES DONT MATTER ON LCDS ITS RESPONSE TIME"

obviously it does matter cause if you put a 2ms lcd next to any 15 year old monitor putting out 100hz, chances are if you dont have profound down syndrome the crt will look smoother.

CRT up to 160HZ
LCD up to 75HZ
HZ is FPS until someone proves me otherwise
every lan i go to i compare the two and the difference is immense
CRT > LCD in most cases unless
worst possible CRT vs. best possible LCD
a $200+ CRT is better than any 1000+ LCD for gaming right now though, sadly enough.

rofl #18 "profound downsyndrome" and yeah i hate it when kids say refresh doesnt matter on LCD
you can test it yourself..... change ur LCD from 75 hz to 60 hz and its immediately worse.......
also i find it hilarious when some pubber tells me they have an essential super computer worth more than $5000 and they have a mid level LCD
" I GET 600 FPS LOL"
whats ur monitor???
"LCD!"
lol you get 75, sorry,
"NO I DONT, HZ ONLY MATTER IF YOU HAVE VSYNC ON"

I like my LCD, I don't really notice a difference anymore. I guess if you are an fps junky it might matter. But LCD's are really nice and save space. They seem to display a lot better of a picture than CRT monitors and they last longer. But CRT's may have them on refresh rates for now, but I'm pretty sure that this will be overcome one day.
Amazing.

if you are waiting to see a display system better than CRT hold your breath for OLED not LCD first OLED TV just came out may 14th

"Blazing Fast Response Time

When turned “on,” individual organic elements are stimulated directly by electric current, and therefore response time is incredibly fast."

will be interesting what the refresh/response time really is on these displays

granted its an 11inch TV for $2500......
