Not to be a contrarian, but I enjoy my CRT more than any of the many LCDs I've used. Why? Firstly because I'm a gamer, secondly because single pixel problems don't occur with CRTs, and thirdly because of cost.

I admit to not being aware of the technical terminology for it, but when a bright object moves quickly against a bright background in a game (which is a lot in Quake 3's spacemaps, any space dogfighting game, etc.), the pixels that were recently 255,255,255 RGB can't snap down to 0,0,0 quickly enough to avoid leaving a trail. Several of the latest screens have made great strides in conquering this problem, but they weren't around 2 years ago when my 21" G810 broke down.

Which leads me to another point - I do a lot of 3D modeling. I like a huge, bright display and I have one. A 21" dual-input flatscreen aperture grille beast from IBM that weighs 76lbs (the Stealth Black P260 if you want one yourself). I have seen a lot of amazing LCDs but nothing compares to my current screen. To touch on the third point - cost - I got this monitor for $480 through Ubid. Admittedly the retail from IBM is $1080, but you won't find a 21" LCD for less than $1700 on Pricewatch.

For most purposes, I agree - LCDs are a no-brainer purchase, and the prices are becoming extremely reasonable. But there are quite a few people not ready to make that jump yet for a variety of reasons, and until economic factors / technological quibbles are disposed of, it might be slightly premature to trumpet the death of CRTs.
