You're an idiot. You spout off bullshit about CRTs and then get mad
at me for telling you that you are full of shit. Get used to it.

Sales numbers in no way reflect a demographic's ability to assess
quality. Read the declaration again. QUALITY was the key word.
Sales of LCD displays do NOT center around quality.

Yet another article that centers around sales figures and price,
which in no way determines quality. Do you KNOW anything about what
you are spewing about?

You're an idiot as it relates to video quality.

No. Manufacturers are taking over your wallet.

What safety issue, asswipe?

You're a retard that does nothing more than follow the flock. Your
knowledge of quality is so bad you have to spout off crap like
"safety" as being an issue.

If those people are satisfied with shit, they'll keep their shit.
If they want quality displays, they'll get the best. Right now, CRTs
are the best as it relates to video quality. LCDs are lame, and OLED
WILL most certainly take over.

You need to get a bit more current.

This coming from an idiot that thinks that LCD displays outperform
CRTs. You downgraded, dumbass.

OLED is an order of magnitude better than LCDs.

This is a public forum, you absolute Usenet retard. If you want a
private discussion, take your crap opinions to e-mail. You spout shit
in public, and you'll get it slung back in your face... dumbass.

You are so full of shit that your eyes must be brown, and there is a

It's called age, dipshit. You'll get heavier hairs in your nose

Cheap shit monitor driven by cheap shit cards makes for a cheap shit

Oh boy... I have to go tell somebody that you said "rubbish". Isn't
that an insult? In your book, yes. You saying "rubbish" is no
different than me saying "bullshit".

Make up your mind, asswipe.

Yeah, you and "idjiit" are both idiots than can't handle CRTs. That
STILL doesn't make them poorer in quality. Get a clue.

You're an idiot. YOU claimed they were unsafe. I SAID that you
need to show me the millions of damaged eyes on the generations of
folks that have been in front of CRTs for decades.

Come on boy. Show me the stats. Oh... that's right... you can't.

I just love theory twits. NOT.

Whoopie doo.

Nope. Three lower strength guns add up to the same level as one
higher strength gun.

Not proportional. The window of emission is about the same for all.
The main factor is tube size.

Wrong. X-rays do not get depleted in air. Also, they do not
radiate off the face of the screen unidirectionally. It is VERY
diffuse. So even a foot or so away. the amount received is very small.
Still don't see any blind old men walking around that were blinded by
their TVs.

Color TVs have been around since the 60's not the 70's.

In other words. They are safer now than they ever have been. The
radiation standards were adopted as a matter of engineering. They
were unable to implement such things in the 60's 70's and 80's. It
has nothing to do with risk, and much to do with engineers having more
technology available to them, such as special coatings, etc.

Show me the stats on damage cause by this "hazard".

When you can do that, you MIGHT get a little closer to proving there
is a danger.

Oh yeah... screw you and your stupid filter announcement, and if you
want a private discussion, do it in email. Don't piss and moan when
someone else responds to your crap.
