I have been reading the various posts concerning LCD monitors,
and from reading them, as well as numerous magazines on the subject, I
was curious as to why manufacturers stopped making CRT monitors and
switched to the inferior LCD monitors?
I say inferior because I have never seen or read about any LCD
monitor that could compete with a CRT monitor. CRT monitors don't
need response times, they can be viewed at any angle, they are
cheaper, and they display 16.7 million colors.
My monitor is a 21inch Trinitron that is about 8 years old. I
don't know how long it will last, but CRT's outlive most LCD monitors
too, and when this one dies, I dread having to choose an LCD monitor
that I know won't compare to this Trinitron.
Why did they stop making CRT monitors when there is obviously a
large graphics market for them? I was just wondering if anyone
knew...?

I can realate with your post. I have a 21" Dell with a Trinitron tube also
and just ordered
a 24" LCD to opimize desk space but I'm not getting rid of my CRT,
I will use it as a second screen and place it next to my printer on a cart
or something.

I had a HP with a Trinitron tube that died on me and I found a cheap source
for a replacement.
If its possible for you to order online check this out.
