- fast pixel response (CRTs are close, but the light to dark transitions fail)
  - strobing, or a refresh rate that is high enough such that there is no blur (240Hz still doesn't fix this)
  - at least 100Hz or so (perhaps only because I haven't used stuff over 144Hz enough yet)
  - non glossy without grainy artifacts
  - retina pixel density
  - no viewing angle issues
  - *at least* as good contrast as a 90% dead CRT I got in the trash
  - no bloatware in the monitor or whatever they do that adds tons of input lag for no reason
  - no local dimming type artifacts that (obviously) local dimming causes, but more importantly what the alpha OLEDs have
  - low minimum brightness. most LCDs even at the lowest settings are far too bright
  - the option of warm color temperatures
  - perfectly flat screen, and pixel sharpness, for the sake of being fair (but the latest CRTs almost pass)
  - no backlight bleed
