As much as I'd like to get a widescreen monitor, the choice of games that I mainly play makes it harder for me to choose a good work/play monitor. My primary games dont support widescreen resolutions. I'm a little hurt that they wouldnt include some widescreen loving support, but I'll manage. Anyways, I'm here for opinions on monitors, and I'm always open to more suggestions. Right now I'm using an HP f1703 17" fullscreen LCD monitor. I'd like to buy a larger monitor that supports higher resolutions. I've spent a few hours reading reviews and trying to decide which fullscreen monitor would be the best for me to upgrade to, and I'm torn between my primary candidates for CRT and LCD monitors. It's basically boiled down to these two.

So, which one should I get? Should I go with the CRT that hasnt had alot of reviews and is also a freaking mammoth but also has crisp clear text and awesome resolutions and better viewing angles and true black colors and greatly reduced chance of dead pixels? Or should I go with the LCD that has a bigger screen but maxes out at 1600x1200 but also saves a ton of desk space and is sexy and has a high contrast ratio but runs the risk of ghosting and dead pixels (pet peeve) and etc.
OR if anyone wants to throw out any more options, I'd be more than happy to take them into account. I just want a fullscreen monitor that'll be sufficient for the next 3-4 years.
