LCD Overtaking CRT

prostoalex writes "IDC has a new report out, claiming that revenues for LCDs by the end of this year will top the CRT revenues. The only market not susceptible to the shift will be gaming and graphics-intensive applications, where the refresh rates of LCDs are not satisfactory yet."

Re:I should get one

Last time I heard of that, the flyback transformer had been cracked. It wasn't a severe issue...it just meant that the crack was vibrating, causing the noise.

Unless it was a cheap monitor, your transformer should have been overspecced. As a result, you should still just be eating into a margin. It may result in a slightly decreased picture quality, though. Try the highest and lowest resolutions on your monitor, to see if you can see the difference. It's up to you whether or not to shell out the money for a new display.
