I'm playing on a Dual G5 system with a 23" HD Cinema, at 1920x1200, and
it runs beautifully. The colors are vivid, the text crisp, and there's
no lag or ghosting or artifacts. I correct it with a Spyder2, the game
is gorgeous.

I do design all day, and if I worked on CRTs, my eyes would be burned
out of my skull after that AND a 3 hour WOW session. LCDs are much
better on the eye, and you get far, far less CRT fatigue - something you
should care about if you spend more than an hour or two in front of your
monitor.

Also, develop good eye exercises - every 20 minutes or so, look up, and
across the room, and focus on something. That's all. My optometrist said
that alone will do wonders down the road, and anyone using CRTs and LCDs
should do it, constantly. also, shift around a lot, every once in a
while get closer or further away from the monitor.
