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..

A high-quality LCD. What said >>15 is mostly false for the recent high-quality model. 17" LCD and CRT are starting to be in the same price range, and 19" LCD are not much more expensive than CRTs.
Good LCDs have no noticeable latency. Unless you are some "pro" gamer this is not an issue. When you use the native resolution it looks great.
Some LCDs have very good angles. I know that 4 persons could sit just in front of mine and see what is going on. It is also stable if you use a good support (most LCDs ship with a good one, looks are deceiving) or fixation.

Wouldn't argue that they are better at durability and sturdiness, but unlike LCDs, their darker colors don't start to look like shit in 3 years.

I have experience with a shitty 15" DELL laptop monitor that does everything wrong, and a 19" Hyundai L90D+ display that does everything right. I'd recommend a LCD for most uses, as long as you can try before you buy since dead pixels are the biggest problem with LCDs.
