LCD vs. CRT Display

I'm in the marktet for a new computer, and I'm building in from scratch.
I'm now looking for a monitor, and I'm done a little reaserch on thje subject already...
I will be using this monitor mostly to watch movies, surf the net, play games, and maybe edit a few family photos...
My new Video Card will be something on the calibur of a 7800 GT.
My question to you is which kind of monitor gives the best display today?
I'm shooting for a 20 - 21" monitor. I'm still fond of CRTs, and currently have an old 17" KDS. Do any of the higher-end LCDs surpass higher-end CRTs in image quality. I am not too pleased with the idea of a fixed resolution or viewing angle, nor dead pixels. Are these fears well-founded?
Could you make me some recommendations an a good display..
Space isn't really a concern for me in any case.
Thank you for your time..

Using a Dell 20" wide-aspect LCD now.  Was using a ViewSonic 17" graphics series CRT before.  Been pretty damn happy with the Dell, worth every penny for the wide-aspect IMO.

I resisted getting a LCD for a quite while, sharing many of >>3's concerns but after a while, I realised what really mattered to me was just desktop resolution and physical volume.  The rest were nice to have the best of but there weren't deal breakers.

Honestly, if you're not a hardcore gamer and not a demanding graphics artist, why not go for a nice, large LCD?
