Having a better monitor with a good contrast ratio (3000:1 very good contrast ratio) compared to a monitor with bad contrast ratio (1000:1 decent). The high contrast ratio monitor will give you a more 'richer', life like feel.
You will also need a good response time. A response time of less then 5ms is good.
Viewing angle is also another factor, a high viewing angle will allow you to view the monitor at different angels without the color being majorly affected. Try looking at the monitor at a different angle, and you will notice the colors will look differently.
Another factor of picture quality is how much Hz the refresh rate is. The higher the refresh rate, the more FPS the monitor can display.
Many people do not know that how much Hz your refresh rate is how much FPS the monitor can display.
Think of it this way: The monitor has a refresh rate of 60Hz. The game you are currently playing is running at 90FPS. The monitor can only display 60FPS. 1HZ = 1FPS. So even though it shows that the game is running at 90FPS, it is actually only running at 60FPS.
Example: 75Hz = 75FPS. 80Hz = 80FPS and so on.

After telling you what makes a monitors picture quality look well, this is how well the Samsung 700DF does in these areas: Refresh rate, contrast ratio, response time and viewing angle.
Refresh rate: 1280x1024 at 75Hz. This means your monitor can display a max FPS of 75FPS. The naked eye can't even see 60FPS, so Refresh rate is a good.
Viewing angle: 90 degrees. This isn't the best viewing angle. Most monitors are at 180 degrees. So if you look at the monitor more than 90 degrees on a angle, the colors will no longer be correct.
Contrast ratio: N/A - Could not find information.
Response time: 5ms.

Bottom line: You will benefit because of the refresh rate, and because of the quick response time.

Since this monitor is a fairly old one, maybe upgrading to a Dell UltraSharp 22" or 24" would be a nice investment later on. These monitors have high contrast ratio, refresh rate and viewing angle.

As Jag has said, CRT's are better in response time, picture quality and refresh rate. The bad things about CRT is they use a lot of power, looks ugly, and they are the 'size of an elephant'. They also have poor viewing angle, so don't even bother thinking about looking at the monitor differently. CRT's are also heavier compared to LCD.
Since this question is all about picture quality, if you really want to best picture quality, a CRT is better. They can render color better. An LCD however, at it's native resolution, things are more sharper, because of their high contrast ratio.
However, the difference between a CRT and LCD (color wise) is not that large. Unless if you are a total color enthusiast and want green to look REALLY green, then a CRT would be better then the LCD.
An LCD monitor won't be as great as a CRT in color rendering, but you will have more sharpness, and contrast ratio.

So you will benefit - in some areas. (Contrast ratio, sharpness)

If not please mention.
please answer.
Answer
The Monitor is just for display, sure you need a good monitor good size for clearer view.
the computer itself is the source,
to watch streaming video you need a good internet connection
to watch DVD all you need your normal or HD video card
For Gaming
your computer is out dated, you still can use to watch your DVDs or play some very light gaming,
you can upgrade your video card and memory to play some games, but i highly recommend you buy or build your own gaming PC,
to start you need about 4GB of ram, with 1 GB video card and over 600w power supply , A decent processor over 3.0GHz is fine to play most new games on medium to high settings.
Hope this helps you
