...because they're LCDs? lol, they have shit colour and contrast ratios -- nothing looks correct on an LCD. CRTs are the standard for image testing.

RE: CRT or LCD
Has anyone had any experience with widescreen LCDs? I was thinking of getting a widescreen 19" instead of two 19"/17", mostly because it would look better playing games (read: play WoW [which has multi-monitor support, but if I want to game in them both I have to have my character in the middle, where the two screens switch]).

I use a widescreen LCD on my laptop.  I find it quite good though I did have some problems with some full screen apps until I found an option to keep the same aspect ratio through my graphics card.  My screen is the highest resolution screen I have come across (which is really good or only a 17" widescreen),  from what I found you really have to go for a quality brand with any LCD and it will be extremely clear.  I'm much happier with my LCD than any CRT that I have come across.

I have a 17' AOC LCD but I'd also like a decent CRT because...

LCDs are also better for energy consumption, less eye strain, last longer, less heat output and no electromagnetic radiation.

For me it has to be an LCD cause they have better quality and take up less space :P

I have an LCD (main consideration of size), but I definately know that a CRT gives the best picture in every respect. I would never buy an LCD TV, because I don't need it to fit on my desk, so I might as well get a better (and cheaper) CRT.
