Display Format Technologies Comparison
An anonymous reader writes "The differences between LCD, Plasma, DLP, LCOS, D-ILA, and CRT are revealed, as well as their associated advantages and disadvantages, as Audioholics post a new version of their Display Technologies Guide With advances companies like Intel (LCOS) and Texas Instruments (HD2+) are making in chip technologies and cost reductions, one wonders just how soon CRT based TVs will become an antiquity we discuss with our grandchildren as they install their new high resolution, lightweight, affordable displays on their walls."
My favorite display format technology has always been paper.

I really don't understand why Plasma still exists!

I don't come to /. for that kind of advice, buddy.
Gee, with all of these new, flat monitors and TVs, my cat loses out on the most comfy, warm place in the house.
A good tip to keeping your balls clean is to rest your beer on a different table to your keyboard/mouse.
Actually - if you can find a midget-hooker, you can rest your beer on her head, AND she can clean your balls as well.

Damn it, don't you know what happens if you want some physical element to disappear? Haven't you watched Mystery Science Theater 3000? First of all, some anthropomorphic version of the substance you're wishing away will appear. Then he'll bring you on an "It's A Wonderful Life"-style alternative reality, where plasma doesn't exist. But you won't be able to see anything!
"Sure it's dark, without plasma those fancy lamps of yours don't work"
So you'll be like, "well that's alright, I'll just open the shades and let in the sunlight...hey, where's the sun?"
And Plasmy will be like, "without plasma, there is no sun!", and so on.
Eventually you'll repent the error of your ways and beg Plasmy to bring plasma back. Then when he does you'll spend the rest of your life boring your friends by telling them how useful plasma is.
Do you really want to go through that? DO YOU?
