I've looked around the Web, and NOS Trinitron CRT's seem not to be had. Never liked LCD's because, for some reason, grain in B&W scans was much more pronounced - more pronounced than will come out in a print. What LCD's might approximate the quality of a high quality CRT? How much poorer am I going to be should I buy it? ;-) Scott Oliver Bryk wrote: >After completing three iterations of calibrating my ancient CRT monitor with >a friend's Gretag I see what almost everyone has been telling me: the images >are too bright! > >When I consulted the manual for my monitor to find out how to set >brightness, contrast, RGB, etc. and noticed that it referred to Windows 95, >I realized that the monitor wasn't just 5 years old as I had thought but >more like 12 because I kept it through two CPU replacement cycles, Win98 and >Win2k.
