Are they safe above fireplaces, what with rising heat and lots of plastic etc ?
useable fire places are not the best place to put a TV above..
there's the heat issue, the cold issue ( chimney breasts are bad for cold and damp from what i;ve been told.. ) and the dust / soot issue..

While we're at it, we should also have a Mac vs PC war!

Really, then explain why the CRT monitor in my office at work flickers like crazy and has **** poor colour rendition, as well as faded spots and very bad colour bias.
I had an LCD screen before, which didnt flicker and had very good colour rendition. And it was a LOT smaller.
(The CRT came from another shop, ours is closing down so managers are swapping their crap equipment for the nice equipment at our shop)
because you have a cr*p or old CRT.Crafty said:tim west said:

A good CRT hasn't been surpassed by either LCD or Plasma yet, ask yourself why every TV studio's galleries use CRT's in the Vision section for monitoring and quality purposes.
It is quite possible that your PC isn't set up right to drive it. Most LCDs preffer to be driven at 60hz and some very old crts require to be driven that slow but a modern crt with faster phosphers needs to be driven at a higher rate or it flickers like hell.Crafty said:
It is also quite possible that it needs degausing or some other adjustments.
Finally it is quite possible that it is simply a peice of crap that is on its last legs.
Last i checked good CRTs still gave the best color performance, the best viewing angle and the fastest response. Having said that LCDs are a lot better than they used to be and the size advantage is very appealing.
