The LCD screen is sharper than any CRT can be, but getting that
sharpness requires two things- you need to run it at its native
resolution, and no other, and you need to use a DVI connection, not an
analog connection. Do those things, and the sharpness will be great.
Otherwise, you will have some pixel interpolation, which always looks
worse than a good CRT.
