It essentially is as it reprocesses the video, and the result is a
digital rendering. DLP suffers even worse from this affliction.

So.

Bullshit. They never will. OLED will usher in first. Illuminated
pixels will ALWAYS be better than backlit or cast pixelations.

The technology isn't bad. But it will still never catch up to a CRT
in quality. Keep current... Think OLED.

That's why I still buy CRTs.

You're a wussy.

Show me all the blindness stats since the advent of TV, a
considerably higher level source. Where are all those old men that
have been blinded from decades of CRT viewing?
Where are all the traffic control casualties of this dangerous
technology?
Give it a rest.

Funny since eye strain has historically been reported as higher from
LCDs than from CRTs. Particularly with constantly moving imagery.

You're an idiot. Millions of folks in this country and around the
world would have ALREADY been affected by your supposed danger.
Show me the stats, liar.
