"Not to mention that the combination of Graphics card + Digital Visual Interface + Digital Flat Panel TFT gives an accurate 1:1 image of what the graphics card wants you to see rather than one that's been converted to analoge with all the data loss associated with DACs."


Even though the signal is digital, the color reproduction of an LCD is less accurate than that of a CRT, and you will get banding on an LCD particularly when it tries to deal with the darker end of the spectrum, and at the top end of the spectrum, the brightest colors, ie, close to white, you also won't be able to see details that you could see clearly on a CRT.
