LCD vs CRT

Hi,
	CRT screens can change their resolution by changing the size of
each pixel on the screen.  LCDs can't d this, so things won't look very
good if  you need to use other than the optimal resolution.
	Also, I tend to find that the color accuracy of a workstation
grade CRT is better than that of an LCD.  Of course this isn't a fair
test because I'm comparing a top of the line CRT to a lower end LCD.
	LCD screens are easier to look at, because there isn't any
screen flicker.
	Unless I was doing something very specialized, I would
definitely spring for the extra money and get an LCD.

Regards,
Erek
