I somewhat doubt you can really tell the difference in some of the cheaper 17"'s now. I have seen some 300$ (after rebate) 17"'s at LAN's and they seem to play just fine. for 90% of all users, flat panels are more than ok currently while still a bit out of the price range.

Its also something you get used to very fast. One thing I noticed after working on some cheaper 18" LCD's was how blurry CRT's were. you go from something So crisp and exact like a n LCD, its sort of shocking how blurred the lines are on a CRT.

I say if you have the money a 18" TFT is fine. EVen the 800$ Mitsubishi is real nice.
