gad..I had a 21" CRT at my desk at work for awhile, it took up a 2' but 2'  'footprint' that scrunched my keyboard and mouse at the edge of my work area..;)

In all honesty, it depends on the LCD; I had 2 15" HP monitors, that were fuzzy and dim, and just snagged an 18" and 17" for my work PC's (being on the reclamation team hath it's privileges..;) are sharper and brighter. My eyes feel better. The newer the unit, the better the picture (for the most part..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
