Of course LCDs look crap. They don't put gold plated fuses in the power supplies of the units or use monster cables to connect up the matrix.
LOL.
I always liked the way a Monster cable reverted to a 1mm copper track at the amp and a .50 mm copper wire at the driver cone.
But it's a religion for a lot of people and a money maker for a lot of companies.  Good luck to them if there are the people out there who buy them.

I rember once playing a trick on a Audio sales person trying to sell me a set of expensive speakers. (with cheap drivers) He compared them to another set of speakers via the old multi stage switch, when he was interupted by another staff member I switched them back.
"Hmm you're right" I said when he retured. "They sound heaps better don't they."
"The sure do" he agreed, "Nothing like that cheap japanese crap."
I walked out.

Are you seriously trying to say lcds look as good as crts?


No not really I was having a go at the crud that goes on in the audio industry to make money from audiophiles.  In context with rest of the post.

Actually our main TV is a panasonic 86" monster we got in 2004.  Had the choice of getting Plasma(LCDs were to small then) The picture quality is still superb.  If we had bought a plasma it would be screwed and due for replacement now.

But at the moment top end LED lit LCDs are pretty impressive.
