I don't like the way LCD/flat panel monitors look. The image isn't as
sharp

I'd have to disagree on this, if there is anything that is a
clear win for LCD, it is image sharpness... it doesn't get
any sharper than having individual pixel representation.

Agreed, but only if in native resolution, as others have said, and only if
what you are viewing is standing still. Even with the fastest LCD panels,
motion blur is still a problem, although probably more noticable at the
lower resolutions offered by 'standard' TV transmissions displayed on
standard LCD TV sets. Much as I like the picture on my (expensive)
widescreen HP LCD monitor, and given that I do agree with you about
sharpness, I still have to come down just on James' side in that I too think
that there is something fundamentally 'better' looking about a good fine
dot-pitch CRT monitor, but if you asked me to define "good" in this context,
I don't think that I could ...
