I find a well calibrated LCD fine for assessing tonality and color when comparing monitor to print.  Where I noticed the biggest difference is assessing sharpening.  LCDs and CRTs seem different in this respect, and it is just a matter of getting used to it.  In my opinion, neither accurately portrays sharpening in the finished print, so it is just experience with your monitor and printed results.
