Aside from the tech stuff that's been addressed -- and check this,
you can get a 23" Dell 2048 x 1152 for $379 (http://tinyurl.com/dh7r9z)
the nice thing I've found about LCDs is that they feel so much lighter.
Big CRTs are exactly that, big, bulky, hot, energy-consuming.
Your working space is so improved by having something visually much
lighter. My wife even remarked on it when we dumped the big CRT TV
for a flat panel: changed the feel of the whole room, even with it
in a cabinet.
YMMV, of course :-)
(I'm currently using my 15" 1440x900 MBP with an external 1280x1024
19" LG Flatron; a good mix for handling both wide and tall apps.)
