I wonder, how much better CRT would be today, if LCD tech wouldn't exist? We know that LCD displays used to be really bad not many years ago although CRT has existed several ten years, when LCD is like twenty years old or something.

For desktop computers, 1080p or 1200p widescreen CRT monitor would be really good, if you ignore size, weight, power consumption and extra radiation. LCD has sharper image, but colors, motion are inferior and cheap panels have very narrow viewing angles. Dead pixels are pain too. Never seen dead pixels in CRT monitors and I use only cheap models.

If only consumers could be more objective about CRT vs LCD and don't cover behind "LCD is new tech, CRT is old tech" mantra. Maybe most choose convenience over quality, but LCD is not superior in every way.
