That (photos) was my complaint on LCDs, until the current crop appeared -- finer dot pitch, higher contrast, and vastly improved viewing angles have combined to push LCDs firmly over the top for me. My photos look a LOT better on my new LCD than on my top-end Eizo CRT monitor. Anyone want a used 21" FX-E8? Really cheap?

EDIT: anyone nostalgic for that airbrushed CRT look could just use the analog inputs instead of DVI.

Cheers
