flatscreen CRT?

[Pilgaard]

After starring a while at flatscreens down the local computer store I startet to wonder why? Why are the flatscreens than the old "rounded" monitors?
I thought that the 900sl+ samsung was nicer than the 900NF. Do i have to get used to the flatscreens or was it just my glasses turning upside down?

"Why are the flatscreens than the old "rounded" monitors?"

What are you trying to ask?

I tried to ask why the flatscreens are better than normal crt-screens, because i have diffycaulties seeing the difference.

Hope that cleared things

supposedly, you get a better image, less distortion due to curvatures.
i just love mine cuz there's pretty much only one angle that you can get glare.

The flatscreens are better in every way that I can think of. Especially at the edges, where the "rounded" monitors tend to distort the image. And glare is an excellent point. Much less on a flatscreen.

That also depends who makes the TrueFlat screen.
But you can read about it at this place.



<< There are benefits to both technologies at this time. Flat-faced monitors from all manufacturers have some advantages &amp; drawbacks. On the plus side, they have much less glare than the FST &amp; images have a flatter, more realistic appearance. However, most flat-faced models employ a double layer glass surface that reduces brightness (and sometimes contrast) and can have warping at the corners. As technology advances, these problems become less apparent with every new product revision. FST monitors have a slight curve to their image, but may have significantly better brightness (and sometimes better contrast) with a price that is more accessible for most consumers. >>

If you are happy with the normal CRT then that's cool - it's your preference
