Anyway, I think LCDs and CRTs can be about even in the low to mid range. At least...if you can hunt down the "good" models. Just walking into a store these days, you will generally find many more (if not only) LCDs compared to CRTs and, obviously, only from the preferred manufacturer(s.)
In the high end, I think the CRTs still pull ahead.
...
Within the next five years, I expect the LCDs to completely dominate from top to bottom.
Yeah, if all you need to do is reproduce sRGB colour-space (which is plenty of gamut for the vast majority of users out there), then most any LCD will do just fine, and your average user is going to be much happier with the higher contrast ratios and inherent sharpness of those types of displays than they would with a CRT of just about any description.
You really need to have controlled lighting and good hardware profiles to get the maximum contrast ratio out of a CRT anyway, and your typical user isn't normally going to go to such lengths just for surfing.
But if you need to reproduce colour for CMYK output, say, then your typical high-end CRT is going to reach ever-so-slightly into the blues and blue-greens than an LCD in the same class, and will likely give you a slightly wider-gamut than sRGB represents. Sometimes significantly wider (the LaCie Electron Blue i'm staring at right now, for example).
The only display that I am aware of which is capable of accurately representing an extremely wide colour-space like Adobe RGB (1998) in its entirety is a CRT, but prices on those were starting at ~$5000 a year-or-two ago, so it's hardly the monitor for everyone
(unless Ray's buying, of course)

Somebody just stopped by with a laptop...with win motherF#$*ING 98 on it. Jesus. There is no quicker way to give me a seizure than a win98 box.

Hey, from a purely theoretical point of view, the terrorists had a great plan that exposed several weaknesses in the US regarding terrorism/security measures, but where does he get off on slandering innocent civies working in the buildings? I don't follow his logic (or lack thereof) at all.
I wouldn't expect you to grasp what he was trying to say off the bat, Warhawk.
What did they do that he himself isn't doing? They go to work, do their private-sector (non-military) job, and go home. Other than him being a professor at a university, what's the difference?
There ya go, Ace. Now you're asking some of the right questions at least. Try following through. Think big picture. Extend that over, say...the last century.What did most of the companies in the towers actually DO? Forget symbolism - think practical.

In the high end, I think the CRTs still pull ahead. I love this Viewsonic P225fb and I have yet to see anyting trounce it. At the same time, this is still a $700-ish monitor and the thing is huge; probably 24"x30"x36" or more.
Within the next five years, I expect the LCDs to completely dominate from top to bottom.

Where's my KOTOR2 DAMMIT!?!?!
Being lazy; mostly cutting and pasting from the other, older thread:
After checking post-opening of store, the Best Buy website was back to listing it in stock. I went to Best Buy, but it was not out on the shelf. They checked their inventory system and showed that the truck had just delivered them that morning; they went back and grabbed me a copy.
So...lucked out on it being in stock and got both the game and pre-order box for $39.99.

I know this is a bit old, but what is this guy on? The people who worked in the WTC are "little Eichmanns"?
Churchill also spoke of the "gallant sacrifices" of the "combat teams" that struck America.
Hey, from a purely theoretical point of view, the terrorists had a great plan that exposed several weaknesses in the US regarding terrorism/security measures, but where does he get off on slandering innocent civies working in the buildings? I don't follow his logic (or lack thereof) at all. What did they do that he himself isn't doing? They go to work, do their private-sector (non-military) job, and go home. Other than him being a professor at a university, what's the difference? Does he consider himself and every other American a "little Eichmann" as well? WTF?
As far as the freedom of speech arguement goes, I think some may argue that he might appear to be representing the school, as well, but I don't know the details of his statements or the context and whether he might have seemed to represent the university (would he have been making the speeches if he wasn't a professor?).
I guess I don't know all the details, be he seems like a whack-job.

HOT DAMN!!! What a fked-up, backward place on Earth that country is.
Aieeee. State, not country. Not all of us are as farked as that.
I should've been more specific
I'm measuring gross farked-rates. According to my calculations, USA GFR = 49*VA + O_o (where VA is equal to the farked-rate of the state of Virginia, and O_o is equal to the total number of bad actors who have been elected to important seats of power, nation-wide, historically)
Unfortunately the resulting figures overloaded my equipment, depriving me of any concrete statistics to share for now (as well as a good deal of forearm hair.. not that I was meaning to share that with anyone, mind you) ..
Based on the size of the fireball, however, I'm comfortable placing it at the very top of the "fked-up, backward" category. I've never seen results like this before.

re: "pixelated"
I've had my 15" LCD monitor for a bit more than a year now and I notice nothing of the like. I play a lot of fps games and dont experience ghosting, the viewing angle is quite good and the image is clear. My only complaint is that the max resolution is 1024x768, something I accepted going into the purchase given that it only cost about $250. Dont have the name of the monitor on me right now at work, could post it later if someone is curious. As I'm living in a dorm, the minimal amount of desk space that the monitor takes is great, wouldn't trade it for a 23" CRT - well, not till I've moved out of the dorm.

One of the reasons I've kept my CRT is that I thought LCD's look "pixelated"
If you mean that you see a screendoor effect (a small black area around each pixel; most noticeable on white or light backgrounds) -- on the LCD monitor I'm using at work I can see it if I get my nose within a few inches of the screen. Of course, at that point I can only see a small bit of the 17" screen.
I certainly don't have any problems at normal viewing distances though. Also, setting up ClearType properly when using an LCD monitor can help quite a bit.

Im with you. Im very happy with my 21 inch viewsonic, even though its not a preferred model for gaming due to darkness, I still think flats and LCD's AND PLasmas just havent done it for me yet. I say yet because im sure there will be a time when you wont be able to tell the difference between the two.
The downside is have my desk is taken up by the CRT.

I always say "That's why they make them in different sizes."
Besides, if they are on welfare / selling drugs, what would they need to go to a job interiew for?

Or them wasting time creating a bill to fine the people doing it. *sigh* Tax dollars wasted away.
It'd be pretty trivial to show that the time and money involved in writing the ticket, processing it, court time, etc. would vastly exceed the $50 fine.
But hey, that's not all they did yesterday! The Virginia house also passed a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, to be voted on in November. The sole openly gay legislator went on record to say that the ban would one day prove as shameful as slavery and segregation.
