Linda:

Under a magnifying glass, the pixels on my Apple 17" LCD display appear 
very square to me.

You did not say whether color accuracy is critical to you, but if it 
is, a top of the line CRT that you can adjust routinely with special 
calibration equipment is better than the best of the LCD displays.  I 
am saying this as a non-professional observer.  The graphics and 
photography experts for whom color accuracy is critical should weigh in 
here.
