Quote - Also, remember that a 22" CRT really has a viewable area of only 20", while a 21" LCD has a viewable area of 21".  All they need to do is to improve the contrast (deeper blacks) and response times (for gaming).

The response time is a real non-issue for new monitors.  As it happens I was looking at monitors this afternoon and some were showing response rates of 6 milliseconds (that's equivalent to over 150 Hz).  The black thing is an issue, of course.
