LCD or CRT?

[Shadow248]

I'd really like to hear the computer guys' opinions about monitor choices. I am buying myself a new one for christmas and I am torn. I'd love to get a 17"-19" LCD for the style and space savings. However I have not been real happy with the LCD's that I have used in the past. They are hard on my eyes and have limited choices when it comes to resolution. I can't stand that "messy text" look that results from using the non-native resolution on alot of LCDs.

On the other hand, I could get a 22" CRT even cheaper that any of those LCDs and have no resolution problems, a lower dot pitch, and of course one huge mother of a screen. However It would take up a good part of my desk, and shipping prices on those monitors are evil.

So tell me what you think about CRTs and LCDs, what you would get and why.

Thanks.
