Why do people buy LCD monitors?

What's so fun about massive ghosting, distorting colors depending on what angle you look at the monitor, a single crappy resolution, dead pixels, etc.?

Why don't people just buy excellent CRTs?

   I'm not a gamer and at 40 my eyesight had degraded fom 20/15 with unreal night vision to needing specs.
   I loved my huge hernia making CRT's till I read a good LCD offered sharper type and was easier on the eyes. Bought a good Viewsonic and never looked back.
   Many of you use CRT's with gamer videocards so the color you *could have realized* with a Matrox video card is traded for gaming priorities.
