Depends on the ambient light levels whether LCD or CRT offers better 
contrast.  Certainly in office environments (that are usually well it) LCD 
has higher contrast.  In dark rooms CRT is better, but the gap is 
continually closing.

Indeed, it's down to the LC mode used and obviously cost.  Cheap laptop/PC 
monitors are not designed to be viewing from any angle other than 
perpendicular, but a good TV will look the same from all angles (including 
up/down) - it has been that way for many years.
