CRT's are out-moded power-hogs and heat lamps.
With the cost of LCD's dropping faster than my hair to the bathroom floor, there's really little reason not to replace a CRT with an LCD
When I go into a business and see dozens of elderly CRT's humming away, I cringe.
If I was to start working at a new company and they provided me with a workstation and a big CRT, I'd immediately inquire about objections to replacing with an LCD, out of my own pocket if neccessary. (Which of course would come home with me if I ever quit)
