In the mid 2000s, I connected my laptop to one of my CRT monitors and I was astounded at just how rich the colours, tones and contrast were in comparison to that of the LCD. When I discussed this with an engineer friend, he knowingly smiled and nodded and confirmed the superiority of CRT’s vs much of the LCD’s that were on the market and mused that in years to come, many consumers will regret disposing of their current CRT TV’s.
Till 2013, this model was my main TV:
A hefty beast, running at 100hz with 3x SCART sockets, additional rear AV input/outputs and front AV input/outputs on a discreet push open/close panel. The only reason why I no longer have it today, is because it died on me and so, I replaced it with a 50" Panasonic Viera plasma. I still have VGA CRT monitors and a spare (4:3) Samsung CRT TV - but it’s not a patch on the Sony. In a side by side comparison between the Viera and a CRT monitor, the latter still won out in terms of colours.
