I have a CRT sitting next to an LCD. I'd much rather use the LCD for any major graphics work. The only time the CRT really beats it out is when the brightness is turned up almost all the way, at which case the saturation goes down, not to mention it's harder to use... Also, my LCD does have adjustable colour temperature...
- Better resolution flexibility
True, but how many times do you change resolutions other than for gaming?
- Faster response time
- No ghosting
These are probably the only things I really see as the CRT holding over an LCD, which are also the reasons I'm still using a big, bulky 21" CRT as my main vewing box (for games, primarily).
- Consistent quality - No "dead pixels"
I've had a CRT with a bad pixel once...
- Very high refresh rates making them perfect for 3d shutter glasses
How true
- Free antialiasing
Eh? no free antialiasing on a CRT, unless you mean the capability to run at lower resolutions, in which case it's just easier to see the individual pixels. LCDs are better for this as long as the resolutions are evenly divisible by the native one... DOS looks better on an LCD.
- Cheaper to fix
- No backlight to wear out (no, don't point out the irony)
- Simple manufacturing
Don't know anything about these...
"Weight and size are often only a concern when the buyer has made a poor choice in purchasing a desk. "
Maybe, but I'd rather carry around an LCD for LAN parties (despite it being really bad(TM) for fast-pased games). Also, having another square foot of deskspace can be useful for those of us who actually use paper every once-and-a-while.

Another similiar program is Tag & rename. Again, windows commericialware, but VERY useful.

- Better saturation
- Closer colour tolerance
- Adjustable colour temperature
- Clearer picture
- Better contrast
- Better brightness
