Classic Amiga Monitors - To Use or Not to Use?

"Nothing wrong with CRTs..." - really?

Except that they take up a huge amount of real estate.
I haven't used one in years.

I think they're worth the space, I tried about 5 different LCDs but was never happy with how the Amiga looked on them.  Often you forget how a CRT looked when you haven't used one for years, and you get surprised when you see them again just how nice they look for standard definition content.

Don't get me wrong, I use my modern systems on LCDs, but for 8/16-bit machines, they look so much more authentic and how I remember on a CRT.  If I was going to use an LCD I may as well just use an emulator, as the display is one of the biggest parts of the "real hardware" experience.

While I can appreciate your point of view, I threw out the CRTs a few years ago and even with 8 bit systems I stick with LCDs.
Must be my poor eyesight, but I can't see any real difference, except for a great savings in space.

Real hardware experience?
Obviously, as my current Amiga focus is on NG, this is not an issue with me.
If it runs better, thebthen I couldn't care less what it run on.

I remember that particular Phillips monitor.
It had more than a few uses.

If I had the desk space, I could see holding on to one (at least for the oldest hardware).
On an Amiga, which can support pretty high resolutions, I still can not see the point.

And then there's this, that I put together a couple years ago.  3x 40" screens with a total of 3240x1920 resolution.  It does all right.  

Fun to play around with this stuff, but we're still a pretty small operation in the grand scheme of things.  I get jealous of what I see at some of the tech tradeshows around here!

Nice, might have to try something similar with 40 inch televisions.
I never considered that orientaton.

Gaming...that, in part, might explain our difference in opinion.
I don't play games often.
