Right CRTs. CRTs are of better quality. My 17" KDS Xtreme Flat Professional CRT is of extremely high quality, has a totally flat screen and very fast response time.
i have a Compaq CRT model 7550 and its amazing, everything is so clear. But since I got my LCD i dont think i will ever go back unless this breaks or something happens to it...or i find a game that makes this thing ghost like crazy
i find that they both have pros n cons:
CRT is a lot faster refreshing, but not as clear for me (especially when i had a 15" P.O.S screen) as the new LCD that we got with the new computer, its bigger and brighter and much more shinier!!!!
If you get a high quality LCD, they're pretty good but expect to pay a lot of money. Just not as fast as CRT. Some animations I play doesn't come out well on LCD, but on a friends PC, flawless.
CRT Pro's
-Cheap
-Very good response times
-The best quality for black
-Pretty good colors
CRT Con's
-Heavy
-Bulky
LCD Pro's
-Light
-Compact
-Fairly good colors (depends what manufacturer)
LCD Con's
-Expensive
-A bit brighter than CRT
-Slower response times
-The screen tends to have a slight glare
I would personally go with CRT. Even though its heavy and bulky, it is a very good cost-effective replacement to the LCD...especially if you're a hardcore gamer.
