if you are doing anything color critical, LCD panels generally are problematic because they change color when you look at them from different viewing angles. the width of the acceptable angle depends on how much you pay. if you are the only one looking that is one thing because you can view from more or less where the color is correct. having a client look over your shoulder or sitting beside you generally means they are outside the viewing angle where the color is correct. another thing is that LCD panels don't have the contrast range of a conventional CRT monitor. you can get quite high, but still not as high as a CRT that is quite a bit less money.
my current monitor is dying and although i would like a flat panel LCD monitor for power and space savings, it's going to be a CRT monitor first. i am thinking of upgrading video cards and setting up two monitors, one for desktop and one for applications. the new CRT would be for the photo editing display of the image and the LCD for normal work. that takes up much more space.
