    I wouldn't say that anything to do with a CRT is a benefit. They're blurry, hot, electricity-hungry and contain a large dangerous vacuum on your desk in front of your eyes, while sitting you right in the direction of an electron gun while firing x-rays out the back.

    No thanks. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    I hate to even respond to this, but actually the radiation output of LCDs and CRTs is considerably different, due to how they generate the picture.

    Also, if you think LCDs are still horrible jokes, you haven't been shopping lately. I'm a late convert as well, but the quality on even mid-range LCDs to day is way better than it was even two years ago.
