How many ms are CRT monitors working with?

Would CRTs be considered 0ms? 1ms? 5ms?

I know there's no ghosting with CRTs, so I'm just trying to figure out how LCDs measure up to them :)

True but many people prefer the size of LCDs. LCDs also do not hurt some peoples eyes like CRTs do for some

0ms...there are no pixels on a crt, it works almost completely opposite to an LCD. I'm sure there is some transitional delay between two adjacent color shifts, but it still wouldnt create motion blur.

Its comparing apples to oranges. If you are getting ghosting with any crt, there is something seriously, seriously wrong with it.

CRT's depend.
They can work at the equivelant of 8.333ms (120Hz)
Usually about 12ms (85Hz) for me though.

But it's just equivelants.

They have a totally different problem that depends on the persistence time of the phosphors.

A CRT with long persistence will show a trail from a white cursor when moved across a black background, for example.

I was wondering when someone would finally get around to a proper answer!

Me too!
Oscilloscopes have CRTs with very short phosphor persistence times; heart monitors and the like have CRTs with very long phosphor persistence times. Computer monitors (at least the better ones) use medium short persistence phosphors and standard TV's use longer persistence phosphors.

Compared to 12-25ms LCDs?
------------------
Theres no such thing. The best average around 22ms.

16-25ms is for black to white transistions on lcd. color shades take much longer.
