LCD's are good for average every day use, and some gaming. But they don't give true color. They're getting better, but CRT's are still the way to go.

FYI, burn-in can and does still occur on LCD's, it just takes a lot longer for it to happen. I use a 19" LCD because my 17" CRT was consuming way too much power for the amount of time I use it, so I use that as a secondary monitor for when I work on computers.

The near future is LED technology, and not so far away is holographic. Speaking of holographic...whatever happened to virtual reality? LOL. Another topic for another day I guess LOL.
