I am in the market for a new display.I currently use a ViewSonic Ultrabrite 19" CRT. Since the majority of use of for FS should I stay with a CRT or go with an LCD Display?I always thought CRT's were best for FS, so:1 - Is there a large CRT out there that anyone could recommend (21"+)2 - Is there a large Flat Panel that anyone could recommend that good for FS.Thanks & Happy New YearCheersBrian

Because every LCD screen is a fixed array of physical pixels, any picture not in the native resolution of the display has to have interpolation done to decide what the physical liquid crystal pixel should do when two or more pixels of the virtual image overlaid on the physical matrix overlap the physical pixel. This leads to jaggies, blurred detail etc.With a CRT, it's just a matter of adjusting the timing of the electron gun scan to draw bigger dots in a wider scan line, or smaller dots and more lines...as long as you're not approaching the limits of the photoactive emulsion or screen, or the bandwidth limits of the electronics themselves, you can display a wide range of screen resolutions without picture degradation. I also find a good CRT to have a much brighter image, and no color shifting when viewed from an angle (some LCD panels are awful for this).I use a pair of 22" NEC MultiSync FP1375X flat-CRT monitors. No regrets taking the trouble to lug them from continent to continent with me.CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

Windchill, search this and numerous other forums here at Avsim (especially the "other" hardware forum that is a subby of the main MSFS forum) and you'll find plenty of folks who are gaming quite happily with LCD's. Also, there is plenty of info at other gaming forums around the net.CRT's will always have their stalwart supporters, but the fact of the matter is that LCD's are an outstanding option. After all, there has to be a reason that almost all manufacturer's sales of LCD's has been so good the past couple of years. I used to believe just as Bob does, but I could never go back to a CRT after using this LCD for the past year.Good luck,Greg

I'm with Greg, after moving to an LCD I'd not go back to CRT. The current crop of LCD panels is excellent.

ive got a 24" widescreen and FS looks stunning!
