CRT would be cheaper but LCD looks good so im unsure.

Space is not matter, i have large space for CRT but should I choose LCD? please tell us your suggestion.

And differences between these.

OMg dude no offense I was once like you too. But trust me when i say this just go LCD man. screw CRTs. yeah maybe like 4years ago when the response times on lcds were bad but today you can get you a cheap 22inch or even a 24inch for from 150-250 response times are like 2ms wich is better for gaming and not to mention the contrast ratios and the HDMI outputs too. so yeah dude go lcd all the way man...

Get an LCD. They last a LONG time (we have one that's from 2003 and as good as new - CRTs actually die faster in my experience [I know, that isn't that old, but it is a pretty early generation LCD, so the newer ones are almost definitely better]). Besides, the picture quality on a good current LCD panel is second to none, including CRTs IMHO. A good S-PVA or S-IPS screen is amazing.
