The IBM 22" LCD you are reffering to costs anywhere between 10,000 and 15,000 depending upon where you get it. However, one doesn't need an LCD of that size, nor extremity. One can get an LCD for under $1000 that will look great. There are many great LCD's now that the technology is improving. Let me ask you this- from what distance can you read 5 point text on your CRT? How sharp is it? On my LCD, it's ultra sharp, and it feels as if the only limit is the eye.
