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..

I only want to use the native resolution anyway, and I never ever felt the need to watch my monitor from any other angle than facing. If i want to see it from a distance, I can rotate it. They are not that much more expensive than CRT now, and the trend should continue.
I also like being able to distinguish every single pixel clearly without zooming, the quality of antialiasing for LCD on OS X, and being able to play tate shmups only by rotating the screen by 90 degrees without waiting 15 minutes for degaussing.
