1) they are prone to dead pixels
2) they have less viewin angle
3) they have response time for each pixel which may be slow if u go in for cheap monitors and can cause the "ghosting" effectnowadays lcd's come with as low as 3ms response time which is very good
for the casual gamer it is perfect and it has obviously NO disadvantages
if u get any monitor with 8ms or lower response time that is
tho hardcore gamers still prefer bulky crt's

Main reason is "Response time"

Bcoz the LCD with lower responce time can cost a bomb.

Gamerz prefer to use cheap n bulky CRT's.
