Default TFT LCD - a step backward ?

Also low power consumption, low heat generation, and immunity to
magnetic fields. You can put two LCDs next to each other without them
making each others' pictures wobble and squirm.



And some of the new ones really have excellent pictures, viewing angle
has improved tremendously too. I still say a *good* CRT wins for me, but
I'm a demanding user and often use different resolutions, something a
flat panel is not good at, but for the average user a good LCD with DVI
input will be better hands down. Geometry and convergence are dead on,
zero flicker, perfectly flat, square, light, thin, it's no mystery why
they're so popular.
