well while i like my crt's just fine, and they are quite a bit cheaper sometimes, i do like the fact that lcd's are thinner and since the technology has evolved it doesnt have much lag in games now if any. i have 2 moniters right now a NEC multisync 77f which i didnt see on newegg i think its to old from like 2 years ago which i think is fine, and i also have a viewsonic p95f+b. the viewsonic is newer and is also 2' bigger and has a noticable better picture and everything. i went down to a local pc store and looked at some crt's (playing doom 3 by the way) and in no part did i ever see any lag or blur on the screen and i also tested them with painkiller and guildwars no blur or anything on any. im sure if your not an "EXTREME" gamer either one is fine and both my moniters were less than $200 and i would recommend the viewsonic but i think overall its your choice on what to get not ours but lcd's are smaller but can get dead pixels and stuff while crt's are bigger and more reliable ive heard and you cant really go wrong with either.
also this is offtopic - with lcd's, can you have magnets close to the moniter? like speakers? i know with lcds you cant sometimes if they arnt shielded enough cause i blew a moniter that way.. just wondering though
