Am I alone....with my ancient CRT??

Just wondering if I am the only one using a CRT monitor? lol! I sooo want an LCD - but am not totally convinced it is the best choice! I seem to know what I need/want..... Anybody have any opinions, best models, anything - I want to hear it!!

When LCD monitors first came out they were not as good for those of us working with photos. Today they are very good. However, you should get a DVI one which may require that you put a DVI card in your computer. To play if safe...get one when you buy your next computer.

I'm using a CRT as well. Its old, and it has some scratches, but this thing has served me well.

I'm planning on buying a new CRT sometime at the beginning of the new year.
