Should I ditch my CRT for a widescreen LCD?

Hi all

I'm looking for something to get for Christmas at the moment, and one thing I was thinking of was a new monitor. I've currently got a 19 Inch IIyama Vision Master Pro 454 CRT which I'm really happy with. These new 22 inch LCDs have caught my eye though. Does anyone know how their colours, response times, brightness, etc would compare to my current CRT? I'd only be buying it for the increased size, I don't care about space saving/power consumption/weight and all that kind of stuff.

So basically would it be worth upgrading? I know I'd be losing flexibility in terms of resolutions and such but I do like the idea of having a full 22 inch screen.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies everyone. It doesn't seem to be worth the swap yet, I suppose it'll be a while before TFTs really catch up to CRTs. The NEC 20WGX2 seems really good, but I'm not sure if it would be worth getting since the size increase over a 19 inch isn't that big. I was hoping the 22 inchers would be good enough, but it seems they're not quite ready yet. Oh well

Damn it... I had finally convinced myself to keep my monitor, and then the Dell 2407WFP goes on this week only at a price I'd just about be willing pay If I do have the money, I'm guessing this monitor would definitely be worth upgrading to? 24 inches of screen space would be amazing, and it seems to get really good reviews in terms of image quality. Plus from what I understand it can display resolutions other than 1920x1200 since it has 1:1 pixel mapping.

I'm seriously tempted...
