Any better than a CRT?

majormajor5y ago

Not every high-hertz LCD will be better than a CRT in every dimension - black levels and off-angle viewing being the two points that a CRT could hope to lead on - but a 120hz OLED, on the other hand...

I have an MSI 32" 2K with 1ms gray-to-gray 144hz refresh rate. My old Philips CRT was 120hz. The new tech is absolutely better.

1ms Gray to Gray means nothing since the move from one color to another is not linear in LCDs

I'd think so. CRTs could never match the resolution or size what with we see in LCDs today.

CRT did have blurry and distorted image.

And worse than CRT in almost every way.

Mass? Real estate? Ergonomics? Power consumption?
