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?

what are you talking about? I have a 19 inch lcd with native res of 1280/1024. I play games at 640/480, 800/600, 1024/768 and 1280/1024 and they all look fine to me. I play red alert 1 at 800/600 and it looks fine to me. I play red alert 2 at 1024/768 and it looks fine to me.
