Face it folks -- the only real downside to LCDs is the price. That's a biggie, but if the prices were the same, would *any* of YOU (not your theoretical imaginary graphic artist friend) actually choose a new CRT over a new LCD of the same size these days?

Same size and resolution, you're right, I wouldn't. I've got 104 lines of code in very nearly four xemacs frames side-by-side at 1920x1440 which you can prise out of my cold dead etc.; not so long ago, LCDs that could do that simply didn't exist, but nowadays they're merely ridiculously expensive, even compared to what I paid for this monitor five years ago.
