Digital BW, The Print

I've read over and over for the last several months on one 'pro' forum that almost all CRTs will stop being made the end of 2005.  Mine is not quite at the end of its very good life but it will probably be time to replace it in 2006.  I've been wondering just what I will do since I will have to choose an LCD, want a very good quality monitor but probably not the 'best' which is what they (pro forum) were recommending (because of price).  I calibrate of course---but am wondering from those that have switched from CRT to LCD what you are finding as to being able to calibrate to your standards (I tend to find this group has 'high' standards for the most part).

  Your remark about monitors having their own "sweet spot" is the key I
  think.  I have been back and forth with this issue and various
  displays over the years.  Recently, I added a fairly high end NEC
  2080UX LCD screen(the first LCD screen which was actually better than
  the CRT Mitsubishi Diamontron and Lacies I had previously used!).
