LCD is *far* less fragile than CRT. One is a sheet of plastic, one is a hollow glass tube. It is as simple as that. Just because a CRT is more beefy doesn't mean it won't break...

Also, the electric shock and possible explosion of a CRT (they implode because of the vacuum, but the shards can then fly about a bit) make them far more dangerous whey they break. Something to think about.

If you can afford a LCD monitor, the purchase is a no-brainer in my opinion. I am using the Apple 17" Studio Display, and it is fantastic. Especially on my cluttered, narrow desk. I only wish I could afford one of the big ones...
