Well, why aren't there any crt's that are large? Is there any disadvantage other than size with buying this 21 inch monitor instead of the 19 inch lcd? Do lcd's generally look better or worse for gaming? I really want a larger screen.

If not, these lcds looks good:

Isn't 700:1 better than 500:1? What do these numbers mean? Which lcd up above is better?

I am willing to spend around 450 if the size is right. If not, i'll go for no more than 250 bucks for a 19 inch lcd.
