Well I'm on both sides.
The image quality etc from the LCDs really does exceed the old monitors.
Then the space thing, like I could have 6 monitors on my desk right now.
Mostly though is the power issue, figure a 23" LCD consumes less power running than an old 19 or 20 monitor does sleeping, you do the math.
Figure a monitor at 120 watts / 30ish sleep.
LCD 30 to 40 watts, my new ones UNDER 1 sleeping.
But I hate throwing away perfectly good products, I have monitors on a number of servers. They are rarely turned on, generally remote in.
