In most cases, LCD monitors are much easier on the eye than CRTs, especially for reading. Sure, that's a subjective claim, but if you've ever read an article off of an LCD monitor, I'll wager you'd agree with me. It also helps that the refresh rate is locked, and the picture is more solid, when compared to CRT.
I'm not saying it's better; each one has their own niche. CRT for gaming, LCD for apps, that's usually how it goes (until the technologies meet each other in overall quality level). Personally, since I don't game much on my machine (WoW is the only thing, and I play that in a Window) so I'm looking to replacing my 21 and 19 inch monitors with some similar sized LCDs. I just have to wait until the price comes down a bit, because as much as I love gimmicks, I'm not a fan of them being over-priced.

"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
