CRT's used to be better for gaming, not now that Dell has marketed the 2405.
Basically a good CRT is better than high latency LCD's, but that is where the line is drawn, imo...

Many LCD's still only use 6 bit color so they don't produce the exact shade accurately, or they do so by dithering or fast color switching which some people can see as flickering.
