To digital guys:
Yes, it's a given that digital is now superior to CRT in most respects, save for a couple. But, here's the deal: To the CRT'rs left, they don't care. They like to tinker, they prize absolute black level over other aspects of image quality, and they like the repairability and cost-of-ownership of CRT. Give it up. They like what they like, and there's little sense in arguing about it.
To the CRT guys:
Yes, we all know there are a few attributes of CRT and CRT image quality you still find preferable, whether it's absolute black level, the "film look", or repairability. But, some people don't care about those things as much as they care about some of the things you don't care about. But, be warned.... If you bump an old CRT vs. digital thread with an extremely-biased CRT vs. digital pro/con post, don't act all surprised and incredulous if you fire somebody up (troll or not) and he takes you to task over it and another flam war ensues.
BTW, curtpalme.com isn't a "CRT forum" any longer. It hasn't been for years. Kal transitioned it to "home theater forum" years ago. Yes, it's the last place on the interwebs for CRT'ers to hang out, and Curt still does some business, but that's all sort of beside the point. There's a CRT subforum here, and there are a lot of CRT'ers here, but that's all. This is a home theater forum, and as such, digital talk or digital vs. CRT talk is just as welcome and reasonable here as CRT talk (save for this specific subforum, of course which should be about CRT or CRT vs. digital).
Cheers,

Agree..  |
CRT today picture might play very well to the faithful here but it is deliberately blind to the industry, the marketplace and, ultimately, to reality.

So since you say its "End og story" it is so?
See this is why your position is pushed against so fervently by many. In your eyes it is absolute. Where
we , great its fine for you, but you have to set an absolute for the industry the market place and reality.
How arrogant you are.
There still is an industry that uses CRT over digital, Flight and war simulators.
There is still a market, see above and add the used market for those here.
Reality, look at the reality of the people who still love CRT whether you think it
is dead or not, it is not dead.
So go cut and burn your retinas with your artificially sharp and overly bright digital.
See i can be inflammatory too
let us love our CRT's and you can love your Sony.
it really is that simple.
But you will come back with disbelief till no one should have a CRT anymore and that it has no use.
Jut like the atheists who don't understand those who believe in a God. You dont have to understand it just accept that there are those people out there.

No, people arent "blind" to the industry or marketplace any more than you're blind to thh few clear advantages of CRT. Some things just aren't for you. Feel free to like what you like and what's good for you (a $10,000 digital), but that may not be right for another person.

Flight and war simulators does not favour CRT anymore. All simulators are now upgrading and throwing out their CRT and replacing them with digitals. And of corse all new simulators is built with digitals, and now that laser is coming the lamp based digitals will be replaced with laser based digitals. In a few years there will be no simulators using CRT anymore and that is a fact.

In Europe simulators with CRTīs are being replaced with digitals at quite a fast rate. I might be wrong with my a couple of years prediction, but CRT simulators are on itīs way out. There is no new simulators built today with CRT projectors, all new innstallations is done with digitals, or am I wrong about that to??
I know people working with this in Europe and they tell me all CRT simulators will be replaced with digitals, but they are surely wrong about this.
And some of you call Diddern my boy and you call me Diddernīs sidekick, you guys are so funny. And when people are questioning your beloved CRTīS you want them to leave this place at once, really mature.

Some of what you say here is true, in that there may not be any new simulators being built that will be using CRT. However, there are many CRT projectors still in use. Their use is in specialized applications where the design limits a digital to replace a short throw CRT. For instance, there are submarines and simulators that cost millions of dollars and were designed around the CRT projector. Much like there are some military applications where very large screen projection systems would need to have the best in black or low end performance, because it has to be able to display what is happening in a near dark environment (battle field, etc). I don't know of a digital that could make that happen, so the CRT has been used, and repurchased several times even in the past ten years.
Now picture in your mind the purchase of 50 million dollars worth of flight simulators that were designed around a CRT projector. You would also have to understand that a multi-window flight simulator would need a technology with flexible geometry. The Digitals became better suited for this later, using a system called Flex or Warp, meaning the bending of the image was done in the software, but that did not remove the problem of throw distance issues. So there are still a ton of CRT projectors still being used, and some new CRT's still being sold (VDC). But for the most part, you are right, the industry is changing and newer designs are not using CRT. But if you ever visit one of the sights, they are excited about the brightness, but frustrated with the ability to see things in low light on the screen distinctly.
Ever see a planetarium using digital technology?
If you had, you would keep thinking someone needs to turn out some lights somewhere in the room. They have gotten better, but you'll need to hear the frustration they wrestle with, because they expect to see things better in the darker display systems. And let me not even mention MOTION...................

Nobody knows about the future. If you get bad luck and loose your job and don't have the money to buy new bulbs or replace the throw away technology than you would be happy if you had a nice old CRT that can be repaired for little and plays your movies for years to come.

Not many planetariums use digital tech, but there is some using the Carl Zeiss Velvet 2chip DLP projector with 2500000:1 on /off contrast and amazing blacklevel. Here is the link: http://www.zeiss.com/planetariums/en_de/products/products/skymaster-velvet-hybrid-planetarium.html
And motion resolution on DLP is quite good, but not as good as CRT. When you get 2 or 6 chip laser DLP projectors in the simulation market no one is going to miss the dark abilities of the CRT anymore. For HT the performance of the X500/700/900 is way past the CRT in the darker areas of the pictures.

To me a digital is not throw away tech it can be fixed just as your CRTīs. I personally have never owned a projector longer than 3 years (my VW1100) and normally use my HT about 3-400 hours a year, this makes me change bulbs about once every 3-4 years and it is not a problem to me. And the JVC X500 is "only" about 4000$ today and I find that to be really cheap for the picturequality I get.
