I have an Apple LCD, and color-measuring instruments to make emotionless 
judgments of its color-rendering capabilities.

It's better than any CRT costing less than $5000.

It is no longer possible to buy a Mac with a CRT, except low-end stuff aimed 
at schools. Apple has stopped making them, because the Apple flat-panel 
displays are just so damn good.

There's no reason you can't buy a Mac CPU and some other brand of display 
and hook them together; it works fine. But you're on your own with respect 
to end-to-end color management; you'll need to get the ICC profile for the 
monitor and adjust your Mac to know about it. Not hard, but still necessary.
