Affordable LCD displays (less than $500) cannot stand up to even a cheap CRT (less than $150). Quality LCDs exist, but are way too expensive for the average user. My 19" Iiyama CRT (now 2 years old) cost less than 200 at the time, and runs fine at 1600x1200 85 Hz. No flicker whatsoever. Great colors. For the same price I can buy a 21" CRT today that can handle 2048x1536 at decent refresh rates. For the same price I can't even buy the lowliest 15" LCD. Price/performance wise CRTs are still much better than LCDs.
