On flatscreens refresh rate is irrelevent and should be left at 60Hz.

And that should have been a semicolon.

Are u talking abt Flatscreen CRTs? Cause i dont think the term is used for anything but CRTs, since its too obivous with LCDs etc.

I was talking about LCD/TFT. Never seen anyone using a flatscreen CRT before..

TFTs support up to 75hz.

Flatscreen CRTs are all that ppl buy if they choose to buy CRT and not LCD.

Ok then. Where I live, "flatscreen" refers to an LCD/TFT screen, and people get that. I've never seen anyone with a "flatscreen" CRT, just a normal one. I'd like to see an image of one? But my point was for LCD/TFT screens refresh rate is irrelevent. When people talk about high refresh rates to avert eye strain, they are talking about CRTs.

I get your point, when peope say flatscreen they normally mean TFT/LCD/plasma displays.
There are flatscreen CRTs available, my friend has one.
Plus, our TV is a flastcreen CRT TV.
For images of them, try here.

I have not seen a non-flat CRT in at least 5 years.. Im sure uve heard of "flatron".
Back in the day, when CRTs were only non-flat, an LCD was called a "flatscreen", but now all monitors are flat, so calling an LCD flat is quite useless.

The Spelling Police. Ha!

Ok, I just noticed something based on those pictures Callum showed me. By flatscreen, I mean "thin" rather than the actual screen itself was flat. I guess I should call them thinscreens in the future. Or dietscreens.

That is a fragmented sentance! I make the noise "ha!"

The only thing that LCDs have over CRTs is that they are small. CRTs can never be small, but its going to take a very long time for LCDs to become as good as CRTs.

[Neil]

Why's that? Most people I know prefer LCDs. And instead of simply saying one is better than the other, why not accept some people might like one, some the other?

I generally find LCDs are good to avoid eye-strain at high resolutions, but if you are using low resolutions and want a big screen (eg for gaming, and your computer cannot handle high res), then a CRT is best.

LCDs are also nicer to the environment.

[Calum]

I prefer LCDs by far.
