My .02 is sure LCDs are nice, small and expensive but, they even come with a guarentee 
that 99.99% of the pixels are good. The rest are well, bad.

A lot of users have noted that getting an LCD with 100% good pixels 
is either tough or expensive.  

Then again I have Monitors with the still common tube and when they 
die it's 15$ here in MA to get rid of one with a bad gun or a 
impossible to replace HV transformer.  As a result I try to NOT 
collect anything with a CRT onless it's fairly unique.
