I returned a $500 LCD monitor from LG to Best Buy last year, after one
agonizing evening of tweaking/re-tweaking, in a vain attempt to get the
display to my liking. No amount of tweaking could compensate for the
color/brightness shifting that occurred each time I moved my head more than
slightly though. Sure, the monitor had a beautiful, high tech appearance.
The space it took up on the desk was incredibly small...but the image was
impossible to deal with. I took it back and went with a Samsung 793MB CRT
instead. CRT choices were meager in that store, and the Samsung's image
quality is less than stellar in a couple of ways. It was, however, the best
of the CRTs that they continued to stock, and image quality is
head/shoulders above the LCD monitor that it was swapped for. Digital
technology isn't always better technology.
