Interesting thread, I've just brought a cheap second hand TFT of eBay to replace my iiyama CRT, I'm having trouble deciding which to keep:
iiyama 17" Vision Master Pro 413 CRT:
- true flat (diamondtron)
- no viewing angle issues
- good for video, important as I've got a TV card I use a lot + DVD player
- dual VGA inputs, one for AGA scandoubler one for voodoo, handy
- huge and heavy, making my cheap desk buckle lol
- smells like someone's smoking a joint, good/bad? :-) and puts out a lot of heat

- one dead pixel in bottom right, trying to spot it while typing this but can't so isn't much of an issue
- was a bit of a baragain
- saves masses of space
- viewing angle isn't great, you have to be pretty much right infront
- doesn't smell like someone's smoking a joint and relatively cool
- looks pretty
- excellent for web browsing, crystal clear text
- good enough for video, quick response time

However still can't make up my mind which to go with, even after reading this thread. Stick with the CRT or keep the TFT? Anyone want to decide for me? :-)
