Behind the Numbers: LCD vs. CRT

OrenWolf writes "CNet has an article discussing the difference between CRT's and LCD's - where they've been, where they're going, and what to look for when buying one. They inclde information on how to judge the most important (and most overlooked) features in LCD's, the rise/fall of pixels, something that keeps most gamers away from them." Good summary type piece, although nothing exceptional for the more hardcore techie.

LCD Colors?

Quoting from the article:

Colors. With LCD monitors, there's a hard limit on colors, typically 16.7 million (also known as 24-bit color). CRTs have no such limit, which in itself is no big deal since few applications go beyond 24-bit color.

I hadn't heard about this before. Seems like another strike against LCDs for games because most gamers nowadays run their games with 32-bit color.
