News.com really gets it wrong at times
There sure are some problems with this article. First it says that, "LCDs are great as desktop PC monitors because they don't have to refresh pictures rapidly." This implies that TV's must refresh faster, which is not even remotely true. My computer LCD's here run at 72 Hz. Even the fastest HD standards top out at 60 Hz (or frames per second).
The article also implies that the quality isn't as good, which I also tend to disagree with. I'll give that LCD's don't do black as well as CRT's do, but in terms of overall sharpness of picture, especially a digital picture, it's like night and day.
