LCD monitors don't flicker like CRT ones so you get much less eye strain. Another nice thing about some of the LCDs is that they are wide aspect so you get a much wider desktop to hold everything.
I really need to break down and replace my 21" CRT with a LCD. I want the
23" model.
My laptop has a 17" wide aspect display and when I'm home I use it along with my 21" CRT for lots of desktop space.
