i find LCDs superior in every important way.

i have no ghosting and i think the technology is just better than CRT by far.

wow I didn't see this post... but uhh my Dell 2405 which has 12ms response time, and is a 24" wide screen only cost me $860 shipped... I can see NO interpolation on this at any other resolution and 0 ghosting as well....

i swapped my old 22" Viewsonic CRT for an 18" Dell LCD about 1.5 years ago and have never looked back... sure, the CRT scales better, but the LCD is superior in almost every other way, especially 2D desktop mode, where i spend the majority of my time.

Well, i got a sony (forgot the model name) 19" 12ms for 600 dollars. Got it from best buy. Tried to find it online and couldn't. It's one of the best ones too. Also, can see more things than my old 18" CRT did.
