Uses less power. And some of the flat panels can give me a headache.

Completely untrue. A 20 LCD only pulls 45 watts or so out of the line while a 17” CRT pulls twice as much at a whopping 90 watts. At any size, an LCD will have a larger viewable area and use less than half the power of a CRT.

The only area in which LCD’s truly fail is that they aren’t very scaleable. Resolutions lower than the monitors native resolution, almost always look like crap.
