Will you ever purchase another CRT monitor again?

I think I'm done w/ CRTs, next monitor I get will be a LCD. I wanted to see how many people are moving in that direction now that LCDs are coming down in price.

I just bought a Dell E151FPp. It's Dell's least expensive offering, but I like it a zillion times more than my old CRT. I'm not a gamer, so I don't really care if the response times are not super quick. I like sharp text and low eyestrain. :)

No more CRT's for me!

CRT until LCD's are about the same in price and performance. Desk space isn't that important to me.

LCD all the way!!!!!

My eyes don't burn anymore, after hours and hours of gaming.

If I can afford one when I buy a new monitor, I'll definitely consider an LCD. At this point, though, I don't know a whole lot about them to say yes or no whether I will for sure buy one or not.

I can't stand looking at LCDs. Its CRT all the way for me. I'm thinking about buying a Sony (something infront of the number)520. It's a twenty one incher.

.23mm is not enough? :confused:

The resolution in LCD's is nowhere near what high end 21" monitors are... Pour it on!

1600x1024 or 1600x1200 is enough for me. :)

What exactly are you referring to? I have no problems playing games with my LCD.

The next monitor I buy (probably in 6 or 7 years) will be an LCD. I have a CRT right now.

I have a 21" viewable CRT, and I don't find it to be strenuous on the eyes at all. That could be because I run the refresh at 100hz:D

LCD's do bother my eyes for some reason, I cannot stand using them. I could care less how much desk space it uses too (21" viewable monitor is a beast)
