In the past year, I've replace both my TV monitor and my computer monitor,
with flat screen units.
Previously, both were CRTs.
The TV was a 27" Sony.
The CPU monitor was a 16" (actual) off brand.
I prefer the CRTs.
Not that I don't LIKE the LCD screens, I do. They take up so little space, and
are lightweights! I LOVE that!
But, for nuance, for detail, for contrast, give me a CRT every time...
I make the decision to keep the flat screen LCDs on purpose. It's not because
I can't live without them...
