A good CRT, like one with a Sony Trinitron tube, will blow away any
LCD or Plasma panel for picture quality when it comes to black level
and color reproduction. That's why those are still used by
photo/graphics artists. We have some high-end Sun CRTs at work next
to a bunch of flat panel LCDs and the difference is stunning.

For years we had a large, 3-gun JVC color monitor that was in the house when
we bought it. The previous owner had spared no expense on video equipment
(that was current at the time) and the monitor was designed specifically for
commercial use, not as a consumer product. It wasn't a television. It had
a separate tuner for that.

It had the most spectacular picture I had ever seen. Unfortunately it
finally died and was transferred to the scrap heap.

The single gun Trinitron design was very good, but if you get close to it
you will see a very noticeable characteristic of that kind of display .....
similar to the "screen door" effect of LCD projector display images.
