I looked into the possibility of geting an LCD display a while back and more recently too.
I reached the conclusion that for what I need a monitor for would not be best served by the currently available LCD screens.
Uses: CAD and general gaming. With what I do for work every day I cannot afford to use something which might cause eye strain (any more than you would expect to get from staring at a monitor for 5-7 hours a day
)
At work we use 19" CRT Iiyamas (dual monitors) which do a very good job, despite their relative age in terms of technology. Currently the only LCD jobbies that might come close to the performance I require, are terribly expensive and even then I'm not totally convinced they are going to be as good with resolution and refresh rates when I compare it to my tried and tested CRT beast. Perhaps in another several years I might look again and see what's available when the LCD technology has matured a bit.
What it comes down to for me is the quality of the image; I'm not saying that there are no 'good' LCD monitors out there, but I still recon the old CRT has the advantage where clarity and spectrum of the image is paramount. The only downside (and conversly the upside for current LCD monitors) is the weight, space and power consumption of CRT displays.
I will concede that there are a lot of LCD displays for sale at bargain prices, but I think this is a reflection of their quality in respect of all the areas I deem important criteria when selecting a display.

BRAKING NEWS:
Chuck Norris revealed today that his parents have a secret love child, hitherto unknown to himself and his legion of roundhouse kicking devotees, until vast acres of corn were mysteriously turned into popcorn. Sources close to Mr Norris have reported his as saying 'only a blood relative of mine would be capable of such a phenomona and as it wasn't me it's the only conclusion that can be drawn.'
In other news today, the stock market has recorded record trading in salt, butter and toffee. Brokers are speculating this has to do with the now hunderds of acres of poped corn snack food that continue to grow accross the major agricultural areas of the country.
