I really do not know why it asks. My CRT on the desktop died, and I
replaced it with an LCD without reinstalling. In fact, there was a
month were I has to play monitor-rulette and it was getting a
different monitor (LCD / CRT) at each boot depending on what was
available.

There may be some power management or other settings that are
optimized for one or the other, but you can most certainly plug one or
the other in and it will work. At least, it has for me in the several
instances where I have switched between the two.
