In my X-ray crystallography/structural biology lab we still use CRTs from over a decade old Silicon Graphics systems. They are the only displays that can do a 120Hz horizontal scan, which is darn critical when you are looking at protein and drug structures in quad-buffered stereo!
Sadly, the CRTs are dying off over time and it gets harder to find replacements that can work as well as they do. There are LCD alternatives, like Zalman, but they never impressed me much :-(
- centizen 12y agoWe have had good results with the Barco Medical Diagnostics monitor lines - they are the only thing other than CRT's that our Radiologists are willing to use.
- raverbashing 12y agoCare to explain what the issue is? Delay? Blurriness?
- shiven 12y agoFlicker. Anything less than 120Hz can give severe eye strain and headaches over long (30-60 min) work sessions. As to the LCD replacements, the anti-aliasing is just not as smooth (yes, I'm being subjective) as on the CRTs. Perhaps, a "retina" level resolution display with 100+Hz refresh-rate will be a real solution. But those are probably still at the R&D stage and will be ridiculously expensive at launch! And the graphics cards to drive them as well!
- neftaly 12y agoI'm probably misinterpreting your requirements, but you should look into Korean IPS monitors. They're generally very cheap, are far better at reproducing colours than standard LCD monitors, have higher pixel densities (1440p@27") and can often be overclocked (90-120hz). The best deals are usually on ebay, shipped from Korea. http://www.blurbusters.com/overclock/120hz-1440p-ips-monitors/ http://www.blurbusters.com/overclock/120hz-1440p-ips-monitor...
- shiven 12y agoI'd gladly try that out for personal use! But it is an entirely different manner when your purchase has to be approved by a pyramid of bureaucrats and more importantly, buying things at online auctions (eBay, gasp!) or even otherwise (amazon) takes weeks to be approved. And oh!, we need five of those monitors to start with (and they better work!).
