It's about time I entered the 21st century and ditched my CRT monitor
which occupies half my desktop, so...
It also offers variable brightness and contrast
As does an TFT?! Possibly there isn't the range of a CRT, but all the
range you'd ever want to use are there.
That depends on the manufacturer and the tecnology used. Not on
IPS (Hitachi) there isn't. On MVA (Fujitsu) hifgh contrast can only
be achieved at the expense of brightness and colour reproduction.
Samsung (PVA) are about the only models that can offer a good
range of contrast. I very much doubt if they tell you that in the
showroom.
....
a number of different screen resolutions
I always use mine in native resolution, and when I had a CRT, I always
used the same resolution then. I don't know why I would want to change
resolution?
....
Because with a larger monitor, with a higher resolution, you can display
more lines on the screen in a smaller size at an equivalent sharpness at
any time. If you choose to do so. You have that choice. Software isn't
written with any one default monitor size in mind.
....
and probably has higher refresh rates than any LCD
monitor.
Simply because TFTs don't need the refresh rates that CRTs do.
....
It's software that dictates what refresh rates/response times are
required not hardware. Fast moving games typically require fast
refresh rates. Otherwise you get ghosting on the screen. However its
measured and defined that's always been a problem with TFT.

Go to a showroom or shed and ask them to display some pages of
text on the various monitors on offer. Read those pages and compare
the sharpness of those with you're used to on your CRT monitor
at home. Don't be bedazzled by the demo screens. If they can't or
won't display some text then go somewher else.
In native resolution, I'd expect text to be the most impressive thing
they've got to show, especially when using a DVI input (not analogue
VGA). I think if you want to weed out the poor TFTs, then grab that
text window and scroll it up and down, fast. The poor ones with slow
rates will blur in a pretty ugly fashion. That said, I think most of
the ones you can buy these days have perhaps 15ms or less refresh
rates.
