For a rabid videophile like myself, LCDs are just nowhere near a good Trinitron. I've got two 24" widescreen Trinitrons and there is simply nothing in existence that beats the quality. I've got 1920x1200 worth of sharp, beautiful desktop real estate per monitor, but I can still dip down to any resolution below that without problems. Colors are beautiful, viewing angles are not an issue, contrast is enormous, fast motion doesn't cause smearing, there are NO "dead pixels", and the screens are bigger and cost less than LCDs. LCDs are great for some people and applications, but for hardcore professional graphics I would never recommend an LCD.
