We have been replacing tube monitors with solid state
monitors at work. They are simply not up to CRT quality.
They will do for not very critical monitoring but would
never be suitable for any sort of graphics work or for
painting cameras or doing film transfers. On top of this
comes an announcement by Sony that they will stop making
Trinitrons soon. If that's true I don't know what they are
going to offer to replace Class A and Class B broadcast
monitors. On top of this the new plasma displays burn faster
than tubes. We have to go around turning them off in unused
control rooms. New technology is not always better.
