I want to throw another wrench into the works...dot pitch.

I come from a CAD background and before LCD monitors came into existence one would want to get the smallest dot pitch possible on your CRT so that your lines would be smooth and not choppy.

I wonder if (1) CRTs are still the best way to go for photo editing and (2) if dot pitch is still a concern? I would think that the answer in both cases is still "yes". LCD monitors, as far as I know, do not have variations in dot pitches (unless there's been developments in smaller diodes packed closer together?) and are actually spaced further apart than CRT 'pixels'.

Comments on this?

I think you should start your CRT question as a new thread since it diverges quite a bit from the original target. It ought to make an interesting discussion. You could just edit your post to move out the part that asks your CRT question and start it as a new thread.
