a cheap CRT is likely to be better than a cheap LCD. prob is usu the LCD backlight is dimmer than a CRT

In general, LCD is not as vibrant as a CRT

No problem, they are just not as good. They are smaller, lighter, consume less power, etc. but the image quality of an LCD display cannot match that of a CRT display.

LCD is not the way to go if you want optimal viewing of images. One thing I dun like about some LCDs is that bright areas look ok on CRT but appear washed out on LCD. Also, images can look over sharpened.

If space is a critcial issue for u, or u are not exactly serious about image quality and want style, by all means, go for LCD. Else I feel there's no reason not to prefer CRT.
