Quote - One thing to note though, CRTs put out a lot more radiation and cause more eyestrain than TFTs.

I find most TFT setups are usually way too bright causing me more eyestrain than my CRT simply because it's too bright. If your CRT is causing you eyestrain it's probably not setup right and running at 60Hz. I recommend using at least 85Hz, but you can get away with 75Hz if that is all your monitor supports.

We just got brand new TFT screens at work (I'm a software engineer) and for that job they're perfectly allright. But what I noticed is what I notice in virtually every TFT is that they can't seem to put out an even image. Setting the backgroundcolour to white for instance doesn't give me the same amount of white everywhere on the screen, something my CRT doesn't suffer from. Great improvements have been made with regards to viewing angles, but so far I haven't really seen affordable (I don't mean bargain basement prices) TFT screens that pull it off well.
If you don't really have the need to throw out your CRT and it's working well for you, stick with it. If you do decide to get a TFT, be sure to see the one you want in action before buying it to make sure you are satisfied with the picture. I guess that's the whole point. I might not be convinced by a particular unit, but that doesn't mean you are not.
