Let's face it (no pun intended) the LCD monitor is lighter, takes up
less space, is wall mountable, and in most cases uses less electricity.
Sounds like a slam dunk case so lets toss the old 35 pound CRT monitor into the dumpster right? Not so quick! I've had my Sony CPD-E240 17 inch CRT monitor side by side with a 17 inch Sony LCD monitor for the past 3
years and I can tell you that after about 2-3 hours, the LCD wears on me.
I don't know why but the Sony E240 cuases less strain on my eyes over the
long run. With as many as 3 computer monitors running simultaniously the Sony CPD-E240 is far less offesive to look at over extended periods of time.
Here's the kicker, I've already replaced the LCD monitor twice because
of failure. That's not a cheap fix either, LCD monitors are typically 25%-30% more expensive than your upper level CRT monitors.
My advice is this, if you have a Sony CPD-E240, keep it!
If you can find one and your not "picky" about desk space, buy one!!

Because soon....the CRT monitor will no longer be produced.
