You should be able to measure your display and have software adjust the
color representation accordingly.  Of course, with a CRT this is much easier
because its colors usually don't change much when viewed from a different
angle.  So, if you are up for a 'realistic' color representation, calibrated
output on a CRT is preferable over any LCD.  Of course, in a few years this
might change once better LCDs or other technologies are available.
