Better monitor?

Hello, I have two questions I would like to ask: 1) Which monitor is better for gaming- 19'' M993 CRT, or 17'' UltraSharp 1704FPT LCD? (I plan to play games like Doom 3, Everquest 2, Call of Duty etc.)  2) Can the UltraSharp LCD go to 1600x1200 resolution? (The prime mode is 1280x1024)
Thanks soo much for the help!

    The LCD will be sharper focus than a CRT monitor at 1280 by 1024 resolution. It will run at lower than 1280 by interpolation. The CRT will give slightly truer colors and motion will blur less than the lcd.

    Pretty much industry wide, I believe, the smallest LCD monitor that can display 1600 X 1200 is a 20". So no, the 17" LCD can not display any higher resolution than 1280 X 1024. Go with the CRT for games.
