Granted they are beautiful, sharp, nice on the eyes... But am I the only one that hasn't gone to LCD? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to, but c'mon $450 for a DVI 17", I can't do that. I was lucky to swing $165 for my 21" crt.

Anyone else have LCD envy?

In terms of color and stuff maybe not, in terms of sharpness I think you can thanks to dvi.

I use my laptop most of the time because the lcd is so much easier on the eyes.

Yes you can.

I have yet to try an LCD where CS looks better than on my CRT.

You obviously haven't seen a 2001FP in that case

I have LCD but would love to go with both. One for gaming and the other for everything else.

My 1800FP looks pretty sweet. I can't complain about quality.

the screen on my new lappy is sharper than my CRT, which was already pretty nice, and colors are about equal. the CRT had better contrast. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

I prefer CRT's to anything else. Shadow Mask tubes please...not a big fan of Aperture Grille's and its not because of the horizontal lines, I just find the picture from shadow mask's to be more pleasing.

LCD's look cool but CRT's have a more pleasing and natural picture to me.
