The employer at my previous job replaced the CRT monitor on my desk with an Apple Studio Display 17" after the CRT would shut down intermittently every 30 minutes, and it would take 5 minutes for it to become powered up again.

The LCD's much easier on the eyes if you're programming/dealing with text. I still prefer CRTs for color work however. Viewing angle is not an issue with CRTs, whereas even with the 17" the color and brightness shifts slightly based on your viewing angle.

If you decide to go the LCD route, get one with a DVI video connector. The picture is much crisper, whereas the VGA cable is the weak link in picture quality.
