I've seen several LCD's that require a fairly steep change in angle to make a difference in viewing. Besides, I thought CRT's were recommended to be changed out every 3-5 years, while LCD's have a longer lifespan.

The viewing angle issue is going to have to be solved before LCD monitors can seriously compete with CRTs for accurate color, and brightness and contrast values. Two people simultaneously viewing a CRT monitor will pretty much see the same thing. Not so on an LCD. Get your image to look perfect on a CRT, and it will look the same every time. On an LCD, it will change if you move your head a couple of inches.
