I'd never go back to CRT now, i prefer the crispness of a TFT, mind you i'd try to see it running before you buy, i recently bought a new PC that came with a Xerox 19" and it had a dead pixel.......at least i think thats what it was (a white dot) ...the shop changed it but he did say other branches may have said no as some count so many dead pixels as OK (We've had 8 TFTs and this is the first though).

On the subject of analog v DVI  my machine has twin DVI so i have 2 monitors connected and i can switch the left one to analog, (media center is connected to it) i think its not as crisp as the DVI but to be honest its hard to tell, this most likely isn't relevant to you as it sounds like your going for quality, but avoid most of the cheap ones, my sister bought a cheap PC with a 14" TFT and its awful, looks like a badly compressed jpg and has almost zero viewing angle. One final thing to note, folks who know more about this stuff will tell you a CRT is better for Colors, now i'm color blind so don't care LOL but its been stated enough and by folks who would know to make me believe its true.......Steve
