Monitor for graphic design work

Hello

One of our staff uses a 17″ CRT monitor for desktop publishing / graphic design work. The suggestion is to replace it with a TFT or LCD 15″ monitor to make room. I have heard thst the CRTs are supposed to be better for colour matching. Is this true and want would people recommend – keep the CRT (which is newish) or go TRT or LCD, and then what brand, size etc

Many thanks
Bruce
