i dont know if this can be helpful,but For what purpose are u going to use that 17" LCd.
If you plan to use for gaming,watching movies on PC, CRT desktops(the bulbk ones which majority use today) are best because you can see some ghost like shadows on LCD.

Samsung SyncMaster 740N best in 17" inches category. Rated Best performance by PC world This month.
Hmm yes LCD's sure have life Span which is roughly 25000 to 30000 hours. considering they are on for 3 to 4 years 24/7.
Under same scanario CRT has life span of 12000 to 15000 Hours.
So clearly LCD's have more life Span.
Go for it.The newer ones dont have much lagging effect ...almost one in Movies or Games.

The backlight can be replaced in the RARE case that it fails. There's no reason to believe that your LCD will not last for atleast 5 years.
For Extreme Gaming, CRT is better than LCD. go for Syncmaster/Acer CRT.
You can easily get a 19" CRT for this price.
CRT Monitors:
Pros:
Multisync Capable
High Refresh Rates
Color Clarity and Depth
Cons:
Very Heavy and Large
Use Large Amounts of Energy
Generate Excess Heat
LCD Monitors:
Pros:
Smaller and Lighter
Energy Efficient
Causes Less Eye Fatigue
Cons:
Blurry Images Outside Native Resolution
Motion Blur on Fast Moving Images
Come Models Have Reduced Color Clarity
As you can see, LCD is better than CRT in terms of space. If clarity is your prime req., go for CRT.

Those days are long gone when CRT's were better than LCD's for gaming. The new breed of LCD's feature really low response time with no ghosting or blurring whatsoever. I'm using a LCD and I find gaming to be far better than on my old CRT. Running games outside the native res dosn't seem to affect quality much either.
