CRT's do give slightly better quality for fewer dollars but for me, the desk real estate is a big issue. With CRT's 19" and up, space is a problem IMO. To me, LCD is worth it and the quality difference is negligible.

I don't like spending more money for an LCD but in terms of my overall PC budget, going to an LCD vs. CRT is only about 5-10% more money overall when comparing *new* equipment. Yes, you can get good deals on CRT refeurbs and such but if you look, you can find refurbs and used LCDs as well.
