poll - LCD vs CRT mars images

bird (Anthony Wesley) · #1 02-11-2005, 05:05 PM

I have both LCD and CRT displays here at home, and for the life of me I can't get one image that looks good on both of them.

So I want to know if other people have the same trouble - what display do you have, and which of these (identically processed) images looks "better" to you?

The CRT one looks best on my CRT monitor at work. I will check my LCD when I get home.

Very nice image. Congratulations....

I like the LCD, but am looking at it on an LCD. I am often asked if I would like to sharpen my images; even though the images look slightly over sharpened on my screen. Personally images made on LCD screens should be the norm as the LCD is the current technology and CRT is soon to become a thing of the past.

l have heard that most photographers do their editing on CRT's, seems to be a crisper image l think LCD's look very soft.

Using LCD monitor here but the CRT optimised image looks the better.

Yeah, it all depends on the lcd - Leisa's laptop shows the "crt" image to be better as well.

On my CRT monitor both look great but the CRT one looks more 3D and has better colour.

CRT opt on the CRT, CRTopt on my Dell desktop LCD and LCD opt on my Acer laptop LCD (been fiddling with the gamma

) Go figure ???

To throw another angle in on this, I use two laptops, one with a shiny high definition screen and one older standard and it makes quite a difference - what looks bright and clear on the shiny (technical term

) screen often looks duller on the non-shiny laptop and almost invisible on the work CRT...

Either way the two images below are beautiful - the CRT seems more striking, but the LCD appears more "natural", viewed that is from my shiny laptop screen...

cheers,

CRT here & the CRT looks crisper/more colour, but as already stated, the LCD has a softer appearance. Just around the edge a bit.

Im viewing on a crt but prefer the lcd image for the simple reason that it looks closer to what I was seeing visually. I think many images I see here look unnatural with the contrast boosted to bring out details.

janoskiss (Steve H) · #20 03-11-2005, 10:27 AM

I'm viewing it on a CRT today, and I don't know which one I prefer. I can see the same level of detail in both. Only thing apparent is the reduced saturation of the LCD version. Unlike Geoff, I don't think either of them is closer to what I see at the eyepiece, where Mars has a very high brightness that cannot be reproduced on displays or in print.

As I said before, on my cheap LCD the CRT version shows more.
