The only problem with tft monitors is, that they don't last as long as regular monitors, its just that people find that the size and weight is better, but the actual 'life expectancy' is much more lower, this is because the stuff thats used inside it actually breaks down all the time that its on.

I've never seen that with TFT. Old LCD's have exactly that problem and start to degrade in really annoying ways. TFTs are sharper and often brighter then a CRT as well as eaiser on the eyes. Also depending on the model never need adjustment for screen size/position. I really dislike TFTs with built in speakers as they ussually suck the monkey.

Personal Expereince:
Were slowly replacing every monitor at my work with flat panel TFTs. We currently have 8 TFTs and they all work beautifully. I have a 17" TFT and 19" CRT at my desk plus my 12" TFT on my iBook and honestly, I use the TFTs more then the CRT purely because they put off a better image and light. I also have a 17" TFT at home that I use for gaming and it works just fine (15ms refresh :-P)
