@Sidoh:
Same. I edited after you posted.

@Troost:
Yes, but why!!?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Also, my desk isn't that small.  It's narrow, true, but it's pretty lengthly.  I could fit all that stuff on my desk too. :P

LCD.  My desk is literally bending down from my monstrous CRT monitor.  It's either really weak wood, a lot of strain from the heavy CRT, or both. :\

I definently say LCD. When I bought my new computer, I was astounded at how much better quality I was receiving with my LCD. It was without a doubt this is the better way. My old CRT was a really crappy one, and that might be the problem, but LCD is clear and sharp as hell.

I agree with you.  I used two 17" CRT's for the longest time.  I've gotten 19" LCD's two years in a row for my birthday; when the first one replaced my primary crappy CRT, I couldn't believe how much better the picture was.  The CRT I had wasn't bad (even though it was small), but the picture was so much worse.
 
I'm using a ViewSonic VX910 and a Samsung 913T, incase anyone is curious.  I'm pretty sure they are older models (especially the ViewSonic), but they're both very good monitors, in my opinion.

A few years ago I would have said CRT definately, but quality of LCD monitors has come a long long way since then, and I want one to replace my crappy old CRT. My brother just got a nice 19" LCD a month or two ago and it rocks.  Deskspace definately isn't an issue for me, my desk is monsterous (3' x 11') but yeah, LCDs are sexy.

I also agree with that, however I still go for the CRT option when I buy a monitor. More resoultion for your dollar.

Resolution isn't everything.  Personally, I like the sharpness of LCD's over one level of resolution that a big CRT provides.  I think 1600x1200 is hard to work on anyway.

My $2100 21" 1600x1200 resolution monitor has more sharpness than I've seen on any other monitor, no matter what the resolution. And it's flatscreen.

That's disgusting, seriously.  I mean it's great that it's a good monitor, but I would never buy a damn anvil for $2100.  Hell, I wouldn't pay that much for an LCD.  I'd much rather put it into other hardware.  Two 19" LCD's outdo any combo I've ever worked on (including 21" CRT's, though I doubt they were $2100, that's pretty outrageous :P).

You know what's really funny about that?  I paid $250 for my 1920x1440 21" flat-screen monitor.  And it kicks your monitor's ass.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

If you look back, he paid only $100 for his.

Perhaps, but my CRT was *never* priced at $2100.  Nor was it a hand-me-down.
