    To this point, I've stuck with my trusty (but chunky) old 19" CRT monitor. But more and more I'm thinking I should join the LCD crowd. But certain issues, such as color accuracy but mainly the whole native resolution issue, still put me off.

    Is there anyone who was in this situation but was converted to LCDs? Just wanted any opinions.

    I wouldn't worry about colour or image quality, as long as you get a good LCD of course. The only benefit to a CRT is the refresh rate / no blurring, which is good for gaming. These days LCDs have <2ms refresh though so its not much of a difference.

    I'd go with the LCD.

    I am still using a 24" Sony 16:10 CRT.

    No LCD comes anywhere close to matching it, in any area. The size of the case is not a problem for me.

    I run it at 2304x1440 @ 85Htz. It has stunning contrast once it has warmed up (can take up to 2 hours to get to optium image quality). Blu rays look stunning on it, I also have a 40" Sony LCD and watching films like The Dark Knight on the LCD after the CRT is no fun, let me tell ya!

    I will not be giving up the CRT until OLED comes out in a similar size.
