May be DOT isn't the right word to describe what I am talking about, and
I
am not talking about the resolution but the HARDWARE (the metal screen).
or
the DOT is so tiny on my CRT that nearly invisible (you have to look so
close to see very very tiny dots) when you can see clearly on LCD. Or
just
like the difference between old low resolution EGA/VCD (.50-.75mm) monitor
with .21mm or .25mm average.

I am talking about zooming in to repair some skin-damaged *not* for

viewing and normally don't have much to do with printing as I normally
retouch for large print (up to around 20x30" or so), but most of them

Also, I am not talking about the displaying resolution of neither image
nor displaying, but I am talking about the HARDWARE.
OK, I just found an article and it mentions DOT PITCH and this is what I
was trying to say.
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question401.htm
Here, more people misunderstood or didn't give the answer the OP had in
mind. Yup! they talked about Dot Pitch (of CRT) but don't seem to see
the
DOTs on the LCD monitor (metal screen)
http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00LuHY
more .. also, I read an article says most LCD has dot pitch between .26 -
..29 which seems pretty right, but it seems that the LCD shows more
visible
than CRT (or I can even see smaller dots inside bigger dot)

.. and lot more but I think we get the idea. Or to me, right now most
average LCD may be ok for text or graphic displaying, but for close-up
retouching the large dot pitch (I read LCD doesn't use Dot Pitch but you
know what I mean) still bother me quite a bit, and that's the only reasons
why I am still using CRT even I really like the space saver of LCD.
