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?

The resolution is fine, the colors/contrast/angles are great too, you just have to watch the panel types. TN panels are for gaming, basically they're fast, but have worse color/contrast/angle compared to *VA panels. The characteristics are vice versa for those.
Also, LCDs don't look like a huge, bulky piece of shit.
