Eh? The current generation LCD's beat CRT's in every aspect. Latency has been low enough for years not to show any ghosting, I have 12ms LCD and no ghosting, the latest LCD's are 4ms, maybe even as low as 2ms. Also, if you get a quality LCD any fuzzyness when using non-native resolutions is quite limited. Also black is close enough in quality LCD's.
There's absolutely no reasons not to go with an LCD unless you're using graphics applications that require extreme color correctness, but there are professional displays meant for that anyway.
You have evidently never seen a good CRT.
I got the 4ms rated NEC 90GX2 LCD for my other computer recently (which is considered to be the third fastest LCD currently available, just behind the VX922 and 20WMGX2) and the ghosting problem is more serious than I had earlier thought. The motion blur in D2X-XL is bad enough to make me feel a little dizzy after playing for less than five minutes. Although it's much less noticeable in some other games. I got it mainly for text and windows programs, for which it works very well aside from the screen door effect, but I'm glad I don't need to use it for games or graphics in general.
Black on many LCDs looks decent in the daytime (in fact, it looks excellent with the glossy coating LCDs) but it's terrible in a dark room, and I have seen quite a few with supposedly high contrast ratios and/or low brightness. I do most of my gaming in the nighttime with the lights off and this makes a difference to me.
There is only one current LCD that I would say is comparable to the top CRTs in still, daytime image quality, the NEC 20WMGX2. It costs far more than other 20" LCDs though and still falls short of good CRTs in other respects, like resolution, refresh rates, motion blur and nighttime black level.
Find me an LCD that can output a solid 100fps with no blurring or input lag, does 2048x1536 or more, displays perfect black in a dark room, has locally uniform colors (i.e. no screen door effect), shows gradients smoothly with no banding and costs $700 or less. I'll buy it right away.
There are LCDs that do all but the first thing (some of which cost several thousand dollars), but no one LCD that does them all.
All that being said, if I was buying a gaming monitor today I wouldn't even consider a CRT (that 20WMGX2 would be an automatic choice). All the good CRTs have long since been discontinued, and the only ones still available new are pretty much all garbage. Refurbed and used ones have a high chance of having problems and usually aren't readily available locally.
I can't wait for some new display tech to come out. We've been hearing about OLED and SED for quite some time now but there is nothing on the immediate horizon yet.
