A discussion yesterday did suggest that CRTs might still be better - although I have my doubts - and in anycase they take up so much room - weigh so much - and are so easily knocked out of alignment. Whereas LCD screens don't do these - and are also flicker free. BTW does anyone have any experience with plasma screens? The colour that I have seen on some plasmas for TV use has been great if v expensive.
