I switched from a 17-inch "High Contrast" CRT monitor on the LG 1716S - a difference like night and day! Color and contrast come over so well that I can hardly imagine that it is better !? Even in large angle, the colors are gorgeous right or left. Attack from all angles, it looks a little worse. While playing, I can only say to N4Speed underground (is the only game I've tested) it runs with smooth, I suddenly visual details in the game that I have not seen before on my CRT !?
