I am planning to buy a 17" or a 19" monitor. I am unable to decide whether to go in for CRT or LCD. I have made to understand that LCD monitors have a lesser shelf life as compared to CRT and are not suitable to play high end games. In addition, they are also not capable to display as many colours as a CRT. Is it correct. Can someone please guide me.

But why. Aren't LCD monitors good. Every company goes in for them when they buy PCs in bulk. I am sure they are not considering space requirements only.

generally, LCD monitors are better than CRT monitors. my favourite LCDmonitor is EIZO S1911 SH with sound and height adjustable stand.It has 8 ms reposnse time and 2ms midtone response(grey-to-grey), support for both Analog D-Sub and Digital DVI, and it can be fixed on the wall, rotate at 90 degrees and more other features. It is a good choice, and you will not have problems with high end games (we tested at my job)
