In order to get the PQ I'm currently getting from my CRT, I'd need to look into one of the better IPS LCDs like the newer alphas. The cheapest I've seen for those recently has been on slickdeals.net and they're still around $500 for a 24" Dell. I've been mightily tempted to pick up a 28" Hanns-G that goes for a song, and perhaps just use it to extend my current desktop, but it kind of pales in comparison to my CRT in terms of PQ, it's rather bright though. In time I'm going to pick up an IPS for my family gaming rig and use that to replace my CRT when it eventually goes. I really hope I get a few more years out of it, however. It may be heavy as hell, but CRTs were getting pretty incredible toward the end of their production life.
