My SGI GDM-5011's thermal output was rated at something like 800
BTU/hr max, 550 BTU/hr typical. The Dell 2007FP I run now is rated at
256 max and 188 typical. I don't have the power consumption specs
available for the SGI tube, but just the thermal budget translates to a
LOT of savings.
Rated screen size, color-depth, and resolution are pretty close to
identical, but the Dell is a better picture and the GDM-5011 didn't have
S-video, composite, analog, and DVI inputs, or pic-in-pic screen.

However, when restricted to the price ranges I
can afford, LCDs beat
CRTs all hollow.
And, what about power consumption? Is it worth to change for it? I
use to have a couple of monitors powered on most of the time (they are
not the main box, but they show some quotations and other data). What
monitors would you recommend? (I'm interested in using as less power
as possible over anything else, included image quality).
