I second the motion that slow refresh rate on most LCDs will screw you over in games, ESPECIALLY FPS games, because it will be very blurry. It gives me a headache to play on a shitty LCD. You have to lay down big money to get a decent gaming LCD.
One concern that hasn't been voiced yet: portability. I have a 19" flat CRT (the screen itself is flat, to help reduce glare and look nicer), and I love it to death. The only problem is lugging it to and from college, and (more importantly) to and from LAN parties. That in combination with my behemoth full sized steel tower (stuffed full of components) makes moving my PC a considerable undertaking. I'm seriously considering getting a second box just to LAN with, because this one is so unwieldy. Um, that's *after* I buy my Corvette... [/wishful thinking]
If portability is not an issue, however, get a CRT. They're nicer all around to look at, and they run a LOT cheaper.
Edit: God damnit, while I was sitting thinking of the word "behemoth," panbert snuck a reply in. FIEND!
