My coworker got summoned into a meeting right as I was going out to pick up some taco bell. His soft tacos are currently being kept warm on the back of an old Dell Trinitron 17"

No LCD could do that.

In that case, the sun is a better monitor than a CRT, as is a car engine and a microwave oven.

How do you think I heat my room? 2 computers and an old 17 inch CRT. :)

I'll let you know when the real estate behind my "bulky" monitor becomes important enough to recover, at the expense of losing this aperture grill color and flexibility... :roll:

Hmm, both apple and pixar are using LCDs. I'm sure that "www.build-your-own-computers.com" is a more authoritative source on "multimedia and graphics processing", though.

Oh it's about time someone invents a multifunction monitor/microwave gizmo. Now the fat computer nerds don't need to leave the computer for a few secs to warm up the food. All we need now is a built in fridge/case.

Apple's LCDs are the only ones certified for accurate color replication. And only their REALLY BIG ONES at that. Even Apple's own advertising says this. Pixar likely uses Apple displays, since I'm fairly certain they cut their crap in Final Cut HD.
