CRT Vs LCD for driving cabs

--- Quote from: dkersten on August 29, 2014, 01:38:48 pm ---I always read this thread (and the one it came from) as an argument about whether it is OK to replace a CRT with an LCD in a racing cabinet, not as whether a CRT has more height than an LCD of the same width. If that had been the whole argument, then it didn't deserve a new thread. Nobody can dispute it.

If that's what you got out of it then you weren't paying attention. let me give you the cliff notes.
1. Howard stated that there were "no excuses" for not using an LCD
2. I said that Aspect Ratio (what you're calling "screen height") is still a good excuse for wanting to continue using CRTs. I never said it was the end-all-be all reason, simply that it still exists as a reason not to swap.
That's it, thread over. This was all in the first post, I don't know how you missed it. We weren't ever debating whether or not it was "ok" to swap them, simply that LCDs don't fit properly while maintaining the original image size; something I might add isn't really debatable or open to opinion because all it takes is 5 minutes with a tape measure and calculator to prove or disprove.
If you took anything else away other than that it's purely imagined.
BadMouth:
I took it as people arguing CRT Vs LCD, so I split it out and titled it as such.
:dunno
dkersten:
Yeah, sorry, I was talking about the thread that started this one. No need to rehash what started the discussion though, even if we weren't all on the same page. In the end it is just a matter of what you want for you, regardless of whether the cab is original or not.

Its kind of a no brainer anymore, Lcd"s have become the future, for a host of reasons, as where Crt"s are old school, and parts are becoming issue.... What finally sold me was Blazing angles, (Yes I realize it"s a flight sim. and not a driver) But sitting in that plane and flying over London not once did I ever think about Dpi or viewing angles, and finally just enjoyed the game.
