When will LCD's equal in performance to CRT's

It appears to me that LCD's are inferior to the CRT's in all aspects except for size and power dissipation. How long will it take for LCD's to be on a par with CRT's? You think its a better idea to get a 19" CRT instead of a much more expensive and inferior LCD?

In a lot of ways

- less contract ratio
- smaller range of colour spectrum
- afterglow
- occational dead pixels
- smaller viewing angle than CRT (getting to be less of a problem)
- predefined resolution

I learned this from reading the guides and I am not sure if i still want a LCD anymore. The guide i read was "Comparison Of 15" LCD Monitors - Part I", it is written over a year ago. I am definite that LCDs has gotten a lot better, but i am still not sure since i havent gotten the time to do follow up research on other websites. From what i have seen though, the pixel response time (similar to the refresh rate on CRT) is getting better and 16ms is common on viewsonic 17".

Anyways~ i still have my doubts on LCD until the next guide for displays comes out.

Hope these new LCD reviews come out soon.. I need a new monitor, they should include these models in there reviews..
