LCDs/TFT monitors

Finally have reluctantly moved from the old *once upon a time* high end flat screen 17" CRT monitor to a new classy DELL 20" LCD (1600x1200 60hz max res) I LOVE it for everything (especially gaming) EXCEPT for looking at astro and other photos on the net. My/our old photos on the net look like crap to me ;( I have been reading for a while now other people saying the same on astro lists - and its true. What was once a nice velvet black is now a weird dark grey!!!! I find it a bit sad that crts have gone the way the way of the dinosaurs coz i reckon they still absolutely crap on lcds for hi fidelity dark astrophoto viewing. Almost puts me off bothering to do it anymore! I realise they are here to stay unfortunately. Anyone agree?
