That's like saying "who needs so detailed textures, it's not like anyone actually watches them up-close"...
and yes, the LCD is 'flawed' black is noticeable to me, especially in dark areas.. Of course, that's only if you compare them side-by-side. Then again, feel free to think whatever you want, but you don't have to take my word on it -- read some professional
unbiased reviews about it (yeah that's right, without even THINKING about flatness, since those reviews only concern about what's on the screen, rather than what's behind). (and the light absorption method of the LCD, see why it's almost impossible to achieve that black etc...).
Of course, if one expects a given monitor to look good, then it's gonna look good, regardless of objective measurements -- similar to the placebo effect in medicine. Unless you compare you'll just subconsciously think it's perfect. It's a psychological study or something
and of course, in dark-light conditions so as to make them look better.
and by "poor" blacks I do not mean 'poor' literally, just
poorer than a CRT or a plasma (even though CRT beats plasma in contrast as well, by a very small margin).
All humans do is to go to a place, bountiful of nature, and live there. Then the human multiplies and sucks all the wonders there. They move to the next. There is one thing that works the same way as that: a virus.
(then I'll need a new video card, of course)
