Countdown to the death of the arcade monitor?.....

I think what is disappointing about the death of the CRT is that while technology progression is natural, it is being replaced with a technology that in some ways is inferior. The only thing LCD has going for it is the slim factor but even Plasma achieves a better visual quality than LCD and yet it is now on it's deathbed as well.

I'm hoping OLED may be the future, what I hate is I am a graphic designer so I am really anal about color accuracy and LCD just doesn't do it for me although I do think the iMac's LCD's are pretty close to CRT, but of course they can never mimic the scanlines or the soft phosphorous pixels of a CRT.

I agree.  Reminds me of the switch from incandescent bulbs to CFLs.  Saves some energy, but that's about it.
