good question. well if you want safe go with lcd as they don't give of rays, but if you want less expensive and high performance go with crt. remember if you are going to spend lots of money go with a rpojector for about $2500. a 300 inch screen sounds gooood and no need to turn the lights off.

LCD monitors are still not as good for games with lots of motion such as fps games. You get a bit of that haze effect

He only means "frames per second"
The more you can get the better your picture will be.
A strong cpu/vid card will give you good FPS.

I've got a Sharp 16" LCD and it works very well, plus there is no noticeable ghosting on the screen. Just make sure you get one with a pixel response time < 45 ms.

Did you know there never was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffeles?

FPS = First Person Shooter, like Quake 3, Soldier of Fortune, etc.
