No, because the industry won't push for OLED and any new technology in general..

Your best bet would be to find a 16:9 CRT monitor. They'll be hard to find, pricey, heavy, and especially inconvenient in a small area.

>tfw my eMachines monitor from 2004 used to do upwards of 1600x1200
>flatscreen monitors barely go over 1920x1080

>>1881570
Nope.

People these days just don't even know.

>Are there any flat screen monitors made nowadays that have full, rich colors like CRT screens?
IPS panels have better colors and view angles, but worse response time than TN panels

>>1881570
The main feature that's been lost over the years has been 8-bit per component color. The vast majority of LCD's produced use 6-bit panels with various forms of Hi-FRC dithering. Some new techniques are very good, but never quite look the same as a real 8-bit panel or CRT.

I noticed this immediately upon switching to a higher end HP-ZR24w. Not just the advantage of IPS in gamut and view angles, but also being 8-bit, colors were very true, especially primaries and dark tones.

>>1881570
You have a shitty LCD. Lots of people do. There are good ones though. With prices these days it's worth the extra few bucks to get something that doesn't look like shit.

Stop wasting perfectly good booze faggot.

When it comes to LCDs, you have to chose between shit colors (120Hz TN) or shit motion quality (60Hz IPS).

/g/ to the rescue.

IPS and VA type LCD's have color at least as good as CRT, but they tend to suffer from motion blur.

High end plasma screens have better color and equal motion quality to CRT, and they're the professional standard. They're just far more expensive.

>>1887010
Some of them have CRT style flicker (required for high motion quality), but do they have raster scan or do they buffer the frame adding latency?

>>1887010
>/g/ to the rescue.
Oh good, just what was needed.

>IPS and VA type LCD's have color at least as good as CRT
You mean at best as good in practical use, and only thanks to expanded digital color gamut that practically all digital display types can't even resolve and retro consoles don't even produce.

>High end plasma screens have better color
Yes, comparable outside of a production environment.

>and equal
but different

>motion quality to CRT,
addressed well by this question:
>>1887018
>do they have raster scan or do they buffer the frame adding latency
to which the answer is frame buffered.

>and they're the professional standard.
de facto standard only, thanks to the fact that pro CRTs have become a miniscule niche and the productions targets have shifted completely to digital source material and digital displays.

>They're just far more expensive.
As all pro monitors have always been.

>>1887008
No I don't. I live in 2014.

>>1887292
You live in the same world as the rest of us, the world that has shit LCDs.

>>1889342
>implying I implied there aren't shit LCDs for poorfags

>>1881570
Yes, but you must pay a premium for them, and then know how to configure them correctly. There are a lot of options between a modern LCD and graphics card. Just setting black levels correctly can be a pain.

Set-up is much easier on an old PC+CRT combo.

What's the model #?

That size and resolution is a very rare combo.
