Q.
A. Because, believe it or not, most monitors have higher resolutions than even an HDTV.
An HDTV, for example, runs at 1080 lines of resolution (hence the 1080i or 1080p). My 24" monitor, on the other hand, is running at 1680 x 1050, or 1680 lines of resolution! That's 600 lines of resolution more than an HDTV, meaning that my picture is sharper. Real high end monitors can have resolutions that double (or more) the resolution of a normal HDTV. For gamers, graphic artists and anyone who spends a lot of time staring at their monitors, the higher resolution is better looking than is possible on a big TV.
That's why good monitors at smaller sizes can cost a bit more than good HDTVs at larger sizes... the quality and resolution of the screens in the monitors is actually better than the screens in the televisions.
Someday, if HDTVs are updated and have higher resolution rates (maybe double what they are now), then people might start using the two interchangeably... but until then, most people will stick with the two individual devices for specific uses.

LCD or CRT is the best for a designer?
Q. I using a CRT - but want to replace by an LCD 17" - Could i do that? if yes, which one is the best? Thanks so much!
A. What are you designing? Many graphic artists, architects, etc. prefer CRTs because they can display at different resolutions natively, whereas LCDs must manipulate the image digitally to use a different fullscreen resolution (which reduces image quality). Also, if you are very picky, you will notice that on dark images, the screen is never lit completely evenly from behind on an LCD monitor, while the lighting is always even and accurate on a CRT. If you want an LCD, Apple (strangely enough) actually makes VERY nice LCD monitors, but they are on the pricey side.
Edit: also, make sure the LCD you get supports whatever output your video card has. If your video card has DVI, you are fine, as there are adapters to Analog. If you have only Analog output from your video card, make sure you get an LCD monitor that supports it.
