19 inch LCDs are fairly priced. When I was shopping I noticed the price increased much more for 20 inch monitors and up, so I chose 19 inch. A 19 inch CRT is the same price as a 19 inch LCD. So currently, 19 inch LCDs do match CRTs. Maybe a feature here or there doesn't match but the price does and LCDs have more benefits than CRTs. I can read my LCD from across the room so the view angle is a non issue.
