Oh also lcds tend to be better for graphics fort three reasons: 1. You can see individual pixels easier, no more accidental "misses" when trying to work in photoshop. 2. LCDs are easier to calibrate. CRTs may require special hardware and software to calibrate correctly. 3. CRTs sometime tend to fade in the corners. Not a problem if you buy a good one...but beware a cheaper one might fade quite quickly.
