That just means you got a lousy LCD .....
My Phillips 18" connected via DVI has a display-quality
that just destroys any CRT I ever saw. Even the slowness of LCDs
ain't no prob with that one.
The older noname LCD is not so good, but still way ahead of
any 21" CRT (same size as 18" LCD) in the same priece-range.
