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
)
