It depends on the kind of work you're into.
If you're into graphics work, heavy editing etc. for which you need color accuracy (blackest blacks etc.), CRT's still the way to go. The color gamut of LCDs is still some way off.
If you're a regular user though, there's no point in buying a CRT.

Err.. what?
Alright, we are going to have a lot of different people coming here who are going to say -- "CRT for gamers and graphic designers". I can understand that the latter guys are pretty particular about colour output/calibration and the works. But, I guess the gamers' only complaint was the high response time, and that is well sorted out now, I mean 2ms is more than enough, even if you are like a fatal1ty who shoots in exactly 2.1ms after seeing the opponent; I digress.
The only other factor is maybe the cost. And I guess people have to sacrifice a little money now for the future gains -- lower power consumption.
And, ofcourse all the other stuffs that desiibond mentioned.
LCD, hands down.

I disagree. You can buy a SIPS Panel LCD which provides a really high color gamut, it is not as accurate as CRT but it is 98% of CRT color quality. LCD is the way to go, CRT get too bulky at anything over 17" while LCDs are light & eat less power even at 24"

Err.. what?
24''? I will just invert that. Imagine a 42''.Imagine a 24" CRT on your desk

Not to mention more Greener in terms of less power usage.
Imagine the Power it consumes?

Both these chaps have a point price is a very important consideration. Now gxsaurav, what would be the cost of a 21" CRT vs a 21" LCD of same colour quality?

i agree to all points above
one disadvantage of crt is..instability in ups backup...pc restart at times on switching the monitor (ma 17" gives the prob cos high initial current)
one disadvantage of lcd is...hard in long time maintanance ...repairing is costly...so have to be careful in use
overall lcd is good
crt is also not bad

Don't throw it away though.
After the 3 years is over, give it to me. Since you have the same monitor as mine, I'll set a dual monitor setup.

if u r a professional then 98% of a CRT monitor's peformance isn't good enough...the best thing to opt for is a genuine good old fashioned CRT monitor. Ok i admit that it's a bit of a glutton on the power consumption part but I wouldn't trade my 17" CRT for a bigger size LCD even if they would offer me some extra cash including the monitor.
The bottom line is that if you are really a perfectionist then i'm confident that you would still choose CRT over LCD.

CRT for me, atleast for the time being. Not that I hate LCD's but I could get a 24 inch LCD this instant. The only thing which stops me is the native resolution. 1920x1080 would just kill my card, well almost. CRT's can scale each resolutions properly without any fuzziness. They seem a lot detailed in colour reproduction too as opposed to LCD's. Though I might shift to a LCD later on & it won't be a 19 inch again.

What verdict
For games, yes. But for all other operations on your OS (even Aero/Compiz), even an integrated gfx would handle well.
Gamers and digital photographers are only a microscopic minority of computer users, for the majority i.e. students, corporates, offices, and movie watchers, LCDs simply RULE.

I'm a gamer and got a Samsung T220 22" LCD and it looks and works stunningly well!
Very light on the eyes and the games and HD videos look crystal clear.
LCD for me.
