Depends, The CRTs are better and will not have some of the slow reaction problems that some LCDs have, but with the new (and EXPENSIVE) LCD screens these probs are almost completely gone, and they are not really noticable. I think the bigger issue is price and size, you want at least a 17 inch (I prefer 19) and the LCDs are considerably more expensive (and if you go LCD don't go cheap, the cheap ones have slow reaction times and you will notice it in games). However a 17+ inch CRT takes up a LOT of desk space but are as low as a third the price, so the important part of the dicision in my opinion shouldn't be the quality of the image.
