Thin CRTs to Challenge LCDs in 2005

Posted by michael on from the less-lower-back-pain dept.

bigtangringo writes "First Samsung and now LG.Phillips have worked out a way to create thin CRT displays. Thin CRTs offer the best of both worlds -- superior picture quality with a slim size. Thin CRTs are expected to be more expensive than current CRTs, however they are also expected to drop in price rapidly. Both companies plan on releasing Thin CRTs in late 2005."

    "superior picture quality"? Excuse me? An LCD reliably displays the rectangualar picture as a rectangle. An LCD consistently displays the image in the same place, without losing pixels off the edge. An LCD makes it possible to actually see the individual pixels. An LCD image doesn't flicker. In what way can a CRT image be considered superior?
