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..

Only the recent games will pose problems to get that resolution. Not my case.
Never had problems with the angles like you said, did most of those things.
The price on LCDs is going down all the time.
Never had that sharpness on "pro" CRTs, I'll have to believe you on that

Regarding antialiasing, I meant the font antialiasing. Since I spend hours reading on screen it is very important for me. The antialiasing algorithms used for CRT and LCD are different and I like the way it is done in OS X on LCD, but let's not drag this into the debate since it's mostly some software thing.

And given the amount of wapaneses on 4chan, I definitely am not the only one who would find that rotation thing useful for this purpose.
