Sorry Sonic but I don not think you are correct here. I have a CRT at home while I have no real prefrence to each I have a 19" flat panel at work Samsug SyncMaster 910T. I love them both for gaming the resolution on the flat panel is unbelievable and I can get up to 2048X1536 granted it a bit ridiculous, but I can get it on my flat panel. Its a matter of space savings, $$, and the weight they carry. My Flat panel weighs about 12lbs and my 19" Sony CRT at home weighs 65 lbs. Resolution is one thing but a top notch video card is half the battle too. I have the radeon pro graphics 128 mb in both my machines. Gamming is incredible. to say the least.
