They do have LCD monitors with glass fronts.

Hammer? Not likely. Use a pencil instead, but be careful, you might
damage some pixels on the LCD screen permanently. It happened right
here on the 18" Dell Ultrasharp in the office close to mine! The
delinquent was "showing" something on his screen with the automatic
pencil, but in the fury of the hot discussion he punched the screen
juuuust a bit too hard... The pixels are "off" now, he has a nasty
dark spot on the screen...

They are very fragile indeed, these LCD's!

Tap the front of your CRT with a hammer and tap a LCD with one, too.
Then see which one still works.

Well, I would trade the "desk space" for a better color gamut without hesitation!

The matter of fact is that we do not know how good the LCD screens
match the color gamut of the CRT's. We know meanwhile that LCD screen
does not have the large durability as we have suspected. Especially
the blue pixels fade away at a larger rate than the phosphor in
the olle big bulky CRT's. Texas Instruments has recently contracted
a 7*24 (around the clock) test of LCD screens, but they are partisan.
They would like everybody to use DLP technology instead!

We also know from PC World report that LCD screen manufacturers
are in a bitter competition to each other, what made them lie about
contrast values and other performance parameters. NEC even filed
a law suite against Viewsonic!

We really need some serious lab tests of LCD in a well established
test environment.

I spent a small fortune on a Sony TFT display about a year ago and
have not regretted it. The refresh rate and resolution is better than
most CRT displays. It does not have a viewing angle problem throughout
my normal movement range which is about 30%. I can't think of any
reason to look at a monitor from a greater angle. The huge advantage
of TFT displays are the saving in desk space.

Sorry if this topic has been covered before...if so, steer me in the right direction. I have PS on a laptop and want to use a desktop monitor. Which type is better for editing photographs, LCD or CRT? I have a TFT screen on my laptop and the color saturation changes with the position of the screen. Thanks for your help, Oscar
