    That and that they can’t switch resolutions like CRTs can. LCDs can only show one resolution without interpolation where CRTs can show multiple natively (within specific limits). In the olden days it was fairly common to run the desktop in 1024x768 or 800x600 and games at 640x480 or even lower on less powerful machines. Early LCDs were really bad at interpolation so lots of people stuck with CRTs for gaming.
