Since they came from the PC world, probably right . . .

shame though (in a way) as big a pain in the arse as they are, a properly set up CRT projector (Zentith Pro 900, for example) is the most film-like image one is likely to see in the home in the near future.

Given the weight ( a medium sized calf), size (asmall sized calf) and cost (I could sell my body on street corners for years and not come close) of a good CRT . . . I am digital my own self!

We should be a little careful about announcing CRT's death, however. Digital has distinct drawbacks for those with unlimited money to spend and the willingness to do so. This situation has some of the elements that have lead to the resurgence (against all odds and predictions) of vinyl, especially high quality reissues. I think it is less likely here because one is trying to recreate an artificial environment (24 well OK 48 frams per second is digital/sampled, whether the individual frame in analogue or not!) and the sound systems in theatres are EXACTLY why outer space is a vacuum.

en fin, I go to the concert hall often, to the cinema virtually never (only to see something in 70mm or from a theatre digital projector). Unfortunately, neet does not repel rug rats or vacuous teenagers.

Cheers for now
