It'll be a little different whether you're looking for installed base
vs. new purchases. In terms of new purchases, LCDs have it all over CRTs
these days. In terms of installed base, there are a lot of pre-existing
CRT monitors that still working and usually remain static while the rest
of the computer systems they attach to are upgraded.

The installed base IS hard to judge, but in terms of new monitor sales
LCDs are rapidly headed toward a 70% share and show no signs
of slowing down any time soon. This is for the desktop monitor market
only; TV is a different story, with CRTs still accounting for the lion's
share of products shipped at under 40" diagonal (which is about the
maximum possible with a direct-view CRT.

I've just got a 19" Dell value lcd flatscreen with my new PC at home.
I can't believe how much nicer it is to use than the 19" CRT I used to use. The only problem now, is with the CRT monitors I still
have to use at work (
