The new LCDs using the brand new version of the HDMI spec (with the deep black, etc.) are finally surpassing CRTs in terms of picture quality. But I much prefer LCDs in spite of the inferior picture because my eyes don't get nearly as tired looking at an LCD screen for long periods of time. I always feel like I haven't been blinking nearly enough when I use a CRT for a long time. Also, of course, they take up a lot less space which is nice. And as a network admin supporting about 100 users spread out between multiple offices, there's something to be said for not having to lift the damned things. I've got a couple of 10 year old 21 inchers that must weigh 85 pounds. That's heavy enough as dumb bells or something, but when it's something big and awkward that has to be held out in front of you it's back breaking.
And so on . . .
