I for some reason still prefer to be using a CRT monitor than an LCD monitor. The clarity and contrast is good, and it is pure direct light that you are seeing on the screen. But to the fact that you cannot get any good clarity on resolutions over 1280×1024 on a crt monitory, you will definitely have to go for an lcd monitor and you cant expect to have any development on the CRT front. Then again, that is old technology. Think about being power conservative. LCD consumes lesser power, and since it is indirect light, it is always easy on eyes, though if it is nto a TFT you will find it difficult in viewing closely at things displayed on them.

Buy.com is the best place to buy many things. Anything that you can think of, you will find it in buy.com, a secure place to shop online, and when you search the site for lcd monitors, you will get a huge number of choices, and you can pick what ever you like.
