I currently have an Acer X34 - 34" curved, G-sync, IPS panel
3440 x 1440 - lots of desktop space and a very nice panel.
I have owned LCD screens since maybe 2004 but have always felt they are lacking something - even now. I used Dell CRTs and the picture quality as I remember was always very crisp, blacks were proper blacks and gaming input lag was none existent even on a 75Hz Dell which I cannot remember the model of.
I am toying with the idea of finding something like a Sony Trinitron GDM FW900 or a similar Trinitron CRT.
Possible issues...
The viewable screen size will be massively reduced - 34" to around 21"
Desk space reduced - around 20" depth
May have to go 4:3 - Proper aspect ratio for gaming but movie watching will take a hit.
GPU load will be a fair bit less though - 5million > 3 million pixels if going 3440x1440 > 2048×1536
Too much stuff to go wrong with CRT?
Has anyone gone back to CRT for any reason?
Are the technologies built into LCDs now such as G-sync only to iron out the issues with old LCD tech and an attempt to replicate the zero input lag of CRT?
Am I crazy?
