I work as a professional video editor and LCDs are my choice.

Of course all video work is checked on a video monitor to ensure television colors but LCDs are quite accurate and are better than CRTs in many ways.

Keith , it is true what you wrote,

"Sure, if you want to do really precision work you might decide you need a CRT, but quite honestly the number of people who really need that precision is quite small compared to the number of people who flatter themselves and think they need it (or more importantly, think they can see the difference)."
