Analog (CRT) is still king. Don't believe all those people that say the new digital displays are better, 'cause they ain't. Same for audio -- well-implemented vinyl is still superior to well-implemented digital playback.It's all a bunch of marketing hoo-hah designed to transfer money from your wallet to theirs. It's known as "planned obsolescence" and it was discovered by the US automobile makers decades ago. You remember -- in 1959 you just had to have tailfins or you weren't cool. Then two years later tailfins were so 'fifties and you had to get a new car (again).
