Generally TFT's beat CRT in all aspects, except price. TFT picture is much sharper, including small text and moving objects. The contrast is superior.
not for games they dont as the refresh rate is not as good also nearly all of them suffer from dead pixels .I prefer my 5 year old belnea 17 inch crt clearer than a cheap lcd, more than twice as cheap a as an lcd.A mate of mine has an 18 iylama i think thats spelt wrong but that is a nice 18 inch lcd .as i use mine for games on my pc as well ,crt is the best option. :-)
