I find lcd monitors make reading text easier and I prefer them as they are easier to move around and take up less space, even for a larger screen size. I have had a 19" lcd at home for a couple years now and it seemed just as good for games as my old crt I had been using. Recently I got a 22" widescreen lcd as well which for everything other than games I think it is better. For games it is a bit weird as the resolution is at 1680x1050 and many games do not support this view. For example DS I was running at 1280x1024 but now I get a kind of squished effect on the 22" lcd but it still looks pretty good. The funny thing to me is that if you do a screenie it comes out at the 1280x1024 so when I look at that it is a normal view, but it looks kind of odd as I was playing on the wide view. But for video viewing it is much better as it almost eliminates the black top and bottom of movies. But it is okay, I am actually using both monitors for the same computer now. My video card has dual dvi outputs so I can plug them both in. Works out pretty good.

The best part for lcd's is that the prices keep going down. The 22" one I bought actually cost less than the 19" one I bought a couple years ago. Plus the lcd tv prices are coming down too, soon I will get a 40" lcd tv as those prices are creeping to around $1000usd.
