Good call Jude.
I worked in broadcast tv for years..tooo long to say.
But when LCD and Plasma technology arrived, we looked at these as
possible replacements for some of our off air and controlroom monitors.
No matter how much we looked and how much we spent, they just didn't
look as good as a reasonable CRT.
one of the things which happened with the introdcution of HD is that the
amount of info an HD LCD/Plasma needed to display, on fast video like,
footy and rugby. was too fast to be able to get over the lag and
pixelation which these screen produced, so for technical checking
monitors, we stayed with CRT.
I can't say I've seen an LCD/plasma which can compare to the trueness of
a CRT.
Mind you, I was spoilt, cos I had a 19" rack mounted Sony HD monitor
worth $25k at work ;)
I've got a CRT as my main screen at home.

Personally I would say stick with a good CRT until better technology
comes out. Although these new formats are touted as being great, they
in fact aren't as good as the old technology (yet) and the main reason
for the change is more about manufacturing difficulties than
improvements to the tech.
Find a nice widescreen CRT and add a set-top box and you'll get a
cleaner image, nicer blacks, no motion lag AND it'll be a lot cheaper,
because the technology is (said to be) End Of Line. I've even gone so
far as looking at the $20,000 Bang and Olufsun (or maybe it was
$40,000) and it's really not as good as a really good CRT.
The only 'good' LCD I have heard about is the >$60,000 professional
broadcast colour correction monitors, and these don't usually come
with speakers or a TV tuner. I just bought myself a cheap CRT colour
correction monitor for $1,000 and it does everything perfectly well.
Don't get sucked in by the hype.
cheers
