Anyone who cares about graphics, should not play on an LCD monitor or tv.

Wrong forum bud!

Anyway, i'm loving my LCD screens, and both have provided awesome visuals for me.

my CRT only has slighty better blacks than my LED backlit monitor. And the led backlit doesnt weigh 50+lbs. But what in the world are you talking about with CRTs not having any high res offerings? ive seen CRTs with a res of2048x1536

Yes, LCD does look good in bright scenes, but they have poor black levels, which greatly reduces contrast. This is also a reason it hard to see in pitch dark levels in games, such as Resident Evil. Plasma and CRT have contrast that murders lcd. I play Crysis maxed, and refuse to use an lcd monitor, that gives me motion blur and poor black levels. CRT is out though, no high resolution offerings, I own a Panasonic VT25 plasma. It is rated the best looking plasma ever, other than a Pioneer Kuro. The blacks are very inky, and thus offers much more contrast than lcd. Until OLED comes out, I will stick to plasma, and reccomend that you do too.reachrocksman

couldnt care i have an LCD cause i wanted a bigger tv and as a student i dont have a ton of money to fork over for a tv :P as long as it looks decent in motion i couldnt actually care at all xD.

TC is right.. good plasma tv's are rediculous. i own a panasonic plasma 42" and it is worth the money..

I have a 1080p Vizio LCD and games look amazing on it. Even blacks, i don't know what your talking about.

most reviews i see still say dlp is the best picture but the industry is trying to get rid of them because they are more expensive to ship and they take up more storage space in retail outlets.

Plasma is superior for consoles in the mid range class, but high end LCDs can compete with high end plasma TVs.

I use a LCD monitor and everything looks great, I have no problem with dark levels.

TC crt is king but it uses too much power and is very bulky and it has no native rez either.

We are in 2011 and the best LCD still can't compete with an average CRT when it comes to color accuracy and contrast.

Only plasmas. Every site never has LED tvs in their top tvs for a reason.reachrocksman

How interesting. I have a local dimming LED LCD that proves you wrong, however. Thanks, though.

I've been meaning to upgrade to a 42" plasma, and I might do it in February. My brother's is awesome compared to my 32" LCD.

you can have the oldest LCD with the crappiest contrast level ever and after a few weeks your eyes will adjust to it but then when you get something better is when you'll finally realize how crappy your old LCD was. This was something that never happened with CRT TV though, I think this is why they wanted to kill them fast and now with the constant progress of LCD is easier to tempt people to buy a new one every couple of years promoting stuff like better contrast, faster image (all LCD have more lag than CRT, even the most expensive ones), etc.

It actually works quite well, thanks, and I'm sure I'll appreciate the nice long lifespan of the set in a couple of years.

Anyway, you're trolling the wrong forum. Please move along.

Why is this in system wars?

[QUOTE="reachrocksman"] Quite sad, The Kuros plasmas beat CRT, next years Panasonic plasmas are set the dethrone the Kuros.reachrocksman

That is BS I have a old sony gdm-fw900 and it looks better than any plasma with no native rez.

Nah bro you got it twisted you have never seen the gdm fw900 but look at the specs vs your plasma it is no contest.

While LCD is'nt exactly a true step forewards, I'm plenty happy with it. If you're on any kind of budget, even a big one, there are much better things to spend that money on.

The trouble with playing games on a plasma is that the fixed HUD elements significantly increase the risk of burn-in. Newer plasmas may be more resistant to this, but they still aren't completely immune.ThePlothole

I would die if I had to get rid of my Dell Ultrasharp 24". The best ****ing monitor out there. :)Stevo_the_gamer
