I agree with Sirscrapalot on area- since our town stopped taking CRTs, I'd have to haul them over 100 miles...out of state... to get a bill!
If there's a processor near you, great! Take advantage of that. I can't though.
As for eye strain, we have a CRT TV at home. It works great. But, I was referring to one as a computer monitor. The refresh rates are lower, the resolution can't realistically go above 1280x1024 (And that was pushing it on my Princeton), and the picture isn't as clear unless you dial back the resolution.
My LCD is an old 18" Gateway (Pre-Acer). It's old, outdated, and nothing special. But, it's leaps and bounds ahead of the CRT that I used.
Keep in mind- the Princeton is a mid-level monitor, as is the Gateway. A high-performance CRT may do better.
A TV will be at a much lower resolution than a computer (640x480, IIRC).
For a desktop PC, I won't go back to a CRT again. The LCD does everything better.
Just my $0.02
