Size and Weight
LCD monitors win over CRT monitors when it comes to physical size. LCD monitors are small, light and require less space. CRT monitors, on the other hand, are big, bulky, heavy and acquire large spaces. LCD monitors can be easily maneuvered between computers, if due to any reason you change monitors. CRT monitors are incompatible for small desks and small places.
CRT monitors are also not easily portable. On an average, a 17 inch CRT monitor weighs around 40 pound and a similar LCD monitor would weigh close to 15 pounds. When it comes to size, the viewable area on a monitor matters. A 17 inch CRT monitor will provide a viewable area of around 16.1 inches whereas a 17 inch LCD monitor will provide complete viewable area, that is 17 inches.
Picture Quality
Picture Quality
In general, picture quality in both the CRT and LCD monitors differs slightly. New models of both monitors provide good color display. LCDs lag behind in providing a maximum range of color displays unlike CRT monitors. In terms of sharpness, an LCD running at its native resolution or fixed resolution is better than a CRT monitor that can give unclear edges.
Viewing Angle
CRT monitors can be viewed from any angle while LCD monitors can show different views depending on your angle of viewing. At some angles, the picture may be blurred, faded and unclear in LCD monitors.
Price
LCDs are long term investments and profitable one, though expensive. In the recent years prices of both these monitors have gone down and they're well within the reach of consumers. Since LCD monitors have captured mainstream market of computer monitors, the production of CRT monitors has gone down, drastically.

Power Consumption
CRT monitor power consumption rate is much higher than LCD power consumption rate and this is one of the major CRT monitor problems in the long run.
