18.25 kWh yr is for 1hour a day!!

u have to times 18.25 by the number of hours used a day then times your states average cost for power (.10 is us average, NY is .15)
so the NEW difference is
(USA) (NY)
$7.30 yr more for crt (4 hours of use a day) $10.95 yr
$10.95 yr (6 hours) $16.43 yr
$14.60 yr (8 hours) $21.90 yr

P.S. this is all rounding down 5 watts btw so difference is more
sry about the math mix up

That's ok, we get the idea ;)

Please don't hijack :)
And yeah, LCDs can get quite nice (Such as |2a|N's monitor), but you can also get crappy ones.
When you buy CRTs you almost always know that the colour will be sweet (Compared to most LCDs)

I say LCD!

All those are minor things. I could agree with Image Flicker though, but upping the HZs is the solution!
I don't even say that LCDs sucks, but I'm just saying that you can get CRTs which normally have better performance than a LCD for way cheaper.
