Comment Why not both? new iMac TFT has a VGA port (Score 1) 88
I have a new iMac with a TFT LCD, looks great on the desk, saves space and allows family to enjoy a slideshow at a great viewing angle.
I have to admit this is a good LCD, not like some portables I used and owned.
The refresh rate is not measurable to that of a CRT, in a LCD the pixels are on or off, but they do keep their state, in a CRT you "can see" a beam moving across. Refresh rate of an LCD is measured in transitions and not in frames, I do believe.
Other question poses as of color balance and calibration, each medium as its one color cube or space, keeping a match between them is hard to any kind of technology, CRT or LCD, I don't actually know the implications of the change.

In conclusion I think the best would be to be able to use both, or adequate to users needs. Not until Apple decided to make a LCD iMac I didn't consider buying that model, rather than a tower and then the LCD... but with this new All-in-one deal I made the switch from PC.
