The only advantage a CRT has over a properly calibrated modern LCD panel is "blackness": backlit LCDs can't display truly black pixels, because a little bit of the backlight will still shine through. This is usually not noticeable except when playing certain games or movies in a dark room. I believe there are LCDs with individual lighting for each pixel, but they're probably not within the OP's budget. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
