I stopped using CRTs five years ago and didn't regret it for a minute. If you're spending several hours per day in front of a computer, using a good monitor, keyboard and mouse is essential! I can't understand people who buy a new quad-core SLI RAID killer PC every year but still use the same 17" CRT they got bundled with their Pentium II. I always end up buying the cheaper PC and spend more on the monitor instead. A bad computer may make you wait a little longer, where a bad monitor will make you sick.
