LCDs lack the color fidelity of CRTs.  Before I was thinking that a nice one
or 2 21" monitors on the desk, plus accessory LCDs, but now that I've been 
spending so much time using only a notebook at work, I'm begining to think 
that only machines dedicated to color sensitive graphics work (photo editing,
video editing, compositing, etc) need CRTs, and maybe animation, modeling,
and coding stations could all be LCDs.
