Certainly sharper in the long run... CRT sharpness is something you pay a 
premium for, and often have to return monitors more than once to get; all to 
have them get soft over time anyways.

Contrast is a controllable function... if you want it contrasty its 
available, if you don't then OptiCAL will let you define any standard you 
want for contrast.

I have worked with a wide range of LCDs including multiple models from Apple, 
LaCie, Mitsubishi/NEC, Sony, ViewSonic, Formac, a couple rebrands from 
Gateway and Dell, and even the Wacom LCD screen/tablet.
