I just felt silly yanking it out of page 3 or 4 or wherever it was, so I did the wavey-armey-magic-wandey thing to detract negative attention from myself...

Don't forget LCDs produce much less heat
This could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the season and where you are... let's just say that in the summer I WISH I had LCD displays for my computers.

I have a big old CRT taking up tons of space, spitting out heat, shooting electrons through me, etc. However, it was much cheaper than LCDs

CRTs are cheaper, but if you have the money, you should go with the LCD monitor. Crisper display, perfect geometry, takes up less space, and can be brighter.

I like mine. I just wish I could figure out how to clean it.

It's easy. Your computer store should sell these alcohol wipes, which you buy in order to easily clean your monitor. Don't mind if you press down on it too far, you won't damage it.

A guy once told me to use alcohol wipes on my paint ball googles. "Go ahead it won't hurt them." I followed his advise and much to my surprise I had to buy new goggles.

Thanks Ash, I know your not being facious, but are you sure I can use alcohol wipes on a flat panel monitor?
