What on earth sort of LCD have you been looking at? Even my Dabs "Value" LCD (made by Mitac) from several years ago has crisper text than any CRT I've seen. The one I tried before that did seem to make my eyes water a bit though, so I didn't keep it, and the Dabs one I bought about a year later was half the price :-). Later I got a Sony DVI one to go with it, which is visibly superior to the Dabs, which I had been quite impressed with so far. If you tend to work with more than one window at a time, a pair of small displays is better than one large one. If you saw one with fuzzy text it could have had its pitch setting wrong.
