To quote Walt on this, just because he said not to:

I think he's right, it is time to go to an LCD.
A 15" CRT monitor uses about 150-200W of power while LCD's use somewhere in 
the neighborhood of 1/3 or 1/2 as much power, plus don't put out any heat, 
which cuts down on AC costs. They look "cool", are easier to read text on, 
and take up much less space.
