It depends. The geometry, convergence and purity will be dead-on perfect,
something that's just not generally possible with a CRT. The thing I notice
with LCD TV's is that I can usually see some visible pixelation or
compression artifacts, hard to explain it but scenery like blue sky tends to
make it really stand out and to my eye it just generally looks like crap.
The small size is handy though, and for some material the picture looks just
fine. Of course I haven't looked at any high end LCD stuff, just the TV's
they have at Costco and whatnot.
