Is there any frontrunner? If so what is it? If not, then what are the potential successors?
Is it possible LCDs will improve or has it pretty much hit the wall?
My comments:
I think LCDs have hit the wall, but not because they're too limited; rather only because there is minimal effort being put into them. CRTs, especially analog ones suck too, but the amount of available tech not used to improve LCDs is not being used. You either have a 120Hz TN panel, a 60Hz H-IPS panel, but never a good LCD (i.e., an ultra wide NTSC gamut H-IPS with minimal processing so that it doesn't add more than 5ms to the input @ 60Hz, ~6.8ms (or less) gray to gray response, high panel uniformity (as good as the best panels already existing), high contrast ratio (like 925:1 @ default brightness), long life RGB LED, 120 Hz input, and made with high quality power circuitry and available with a clear panel). That would look better than a Mitsubishi Diamondtron CRT, would have negligible input lag @ 120Hz input, could do 1920x1200 and isn't impossible to make, but it's not going to happen for reasons I don't understand other than that it would be expensive, but people pay $2k or maybe even more for POS HDTVs that are edgeWLED.
I don't know about possible future successors, but what I've described above is pretty hard to beat, other than that an SCR of 2000:1 may not be possible (although blacks and whites won't be absolutely perfect anyway)
I don't play games as much as I used to and part of it is due to some things actually going technologically backwards in my opinion. However, I'll concede that those things (lossy compression for audio and textures among them) may be technologically forward for other people.
