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..

>>17
What said >>15 is mostly false for the recent high-quality model.
Even if it's higher quality, it still doesn't look as good as a CRT and you can't tell close colors apart; it's still slower; it still looks like ass on all resolutions but one; it still has crappy angles (colors are worse from the sides, and vertical angles are still crappy); and worst of all, it's much more expensive. Why coping with all that crap and paying thrice as much just to have a monitor like those from sci-fi movies lolol r0x0r omg? TFTs are a waste of money.
