I was an early adopter for LCD display. Bought into the hype about how great of a display they were. They were terrible back in the early 2000's. I gave my 50 inch Sony LCD HDTV away to a relative and I returned an LCD PC monitor to Best Buy about 3 days after I bought it. That was it for me. I swore off LCDs and went back to CRT. The ones I had were nothing special, but still better than LCD. I went on the AVS forum and that is where I really learned about CRT displays. Those guys told me about looking into Sony CRT HDTVs and monitors. Here in Seattle Craigslist was a great place to pick them up for pennies on the dollar. Peeps were dropping them like a bad habit. I don't remember the model number but I found the largest CRT 4:3 HDTV Sony made for like $200. Hung on to that until I came across a Sony xbr910 which has the Super Fine Pitch 16:9 tube. What a great console display for the Dreamcast, PS2, PS3 and Xbox! As far as PC, peeps were abandoning their CRT monitors like crazy too. I had a Viewsonic Professional Series 19 inch 4:3 that was given to me. Beautiful monitor. Finally, I picked the holy grail of CRT monitors off Craigslist, the Sony FW900. Don't remember what I gave for it, maybe $400.
Both my PC monitors have since died. They were old displays with a ton of hours on them. Nothing lasts forever. The xbr910 HDTV is still alive and with me, but I replaced it with a 49 inch Sony X900E. I tell you this much, once I plugged in my PS4 into the X900E there was no going back. The 910 has better contrast, but I can't think of anything else where it comes out on top. Brightness, resolution and image detail, screen size, there is no contest. Colors are just a deep and lush on the X900E and I have no complaints about motion blur. As a CRT hold out and someone who really appreciated the CRTdisplay, I would never go back. The modern stuff is just too good, and it keeps improving every year.
