So I'm keeping my Farnsworth until >Elvis' ghost shoots the picture tube. > Seems pretty arbitrary to me... you do realize that in real life, seldom is anything actually "pitch black", rather shades above complete blackness? Similarly, just because you used to see nearer complete black portions in movies it doesn't necessarily mean that's how they were supposed to look. LCDs do of course have higher black level than CRT on average, but it's not something one can't become adjusted to rather quickly, so long as the particular LCD doesn't have a lot of backlight bleeding or irregular lighting. On the other hand, LCDs have much going for them in that they show details in (movies, etc) that are blurred on a CRT.
