Good Lord. That's a lot to pay for such a small screen. The image quality is probably outstanding, though. It's like my dream display. Too bad they're all waaay out of my price range.

That one is cheap enough! for a 17" 1080p screen, but yeah like I said on the Vita when something is black in a horror game, it's actually black like OLED tech has the ability to completely power off some of the pixels in an area of the screen to produce pure black.

Would indeed be amazing to have as your PC monitor set up but for now I'm just happy to have that tech in a handheld, like I said for some games like horror elements it's really amazing playing on the Vita in the dark at night time... playing limbo you walk into a black area... and it isn't grey it's just black. It's so weird to be going on about something so simple that was perfectly doable on CRT screens, just we've grown so used to seeing lit up grey as black now for years of lcd.

Right! I bet Limbo would be amazing with those perfect blacks. I  wish I could've played it back when I still had my Galaxy S4. The only problem I had  OLED (or AMOLED?) is they don't seem to get as bright as LCDs. Though that doesn't matter if youre indoors.

I didn't realize CRTs had true black. They had good viewing angles too. Makes me wonder why everyone was in such a hurry to switch to LCD for TV'S... Besides size and power consumption, of course.

Was just down to size, the bigger you want a CRT screen to be the larger the tube has to be to get the image onto it, considering they contained some pretty lethal gases in them I'm much happier having 42inchs of harmless LCD in my room than close to a Ton of deadly gas :D also yeah... for a 42in crt the back of the TV would have to be about the same so you'd be talking about a Borg Cube size mass in the middle of your sitting room, a lot harder to work around than something no thicker than a wall mirror.

In term of performance and output, yes but consoles are really holding the potential back... 
It's not like everyone can afford a PC that can run ''True next gen games'' So it's good to have a weaker standard so that everyone can enjoy gaming. 
But if 980Ti was the standarn, or Titanx? We would have seen graphics at 30fps that would destroy consoles capabilities and the game would freeze and crash just a second after jumping into the gameplay.

Just look at Crysis on PC and how downgraded it was on 360.

Keep in mind that the X360 launched in Nov 2005, Over 10 years ago, Ya know, 1 year before Windows Vista launched, While it is true that Crysis could look amazing on the PC compared to the X360s port of it, I don't really imagine many of the Windows XP PCs back in 2005 would Have had much chance at blasting out Crysis in 4k @ 60fps either heh.
