I HATE lcd monitors, they are so easy to break, at least for me, Im pretty clumsy, I broke 2 laptop screens and 1 digital camera lcd screen. And to fix the screen is so expensive you're better off buying a new cam/compie. Dont they make regular screens anymore? Is this a way to squeeze money out of the consumer??
The CRT-type monitors are alive and well for computers. Digicams and laptops require the LCD's for portability. Desktop computers are often marketed with the LCD screens because most people like the smaller size (compared to CRT). But you can custom order one with a CRT. In fact, CRT's are the preferred device for graphic arts and photography professionals because the color rendition is more true. Good Luck
