What model is the CRT you own? (Remember, not talking about tvs.)
1 120hz monitor

Sorry, but without 120hz monitors nvision wouldn't be a reality.

Ya there's a number coming out now, I don't think they're the quality of the higher end TN panels yet (not that that's something amazing) but they'll get there soon enough.

I'd buy one if the price was within 100$ of an equivalent 22-24in 1920x1200.

TBH, most of the talk about black levels is sales crap. How do I know? I sell them.
I'm perfectly happy watching a movie on my BenQ E2200. Terrible black levels, light bleeding etc etc. I bought it because it was cheap, and most of the time, (gaming, desktop) I'm not in a position to notice it. If I feel like I must do the movie justice, I'll play it on our Plasma. Now I ask you, what's better? 66cm CRT (TV, I've not seen a monitor that big) or 127cm Plasma?
I know what I'd pick.

Edit: apparently samsung did 30" CRTs... I shudder to think of the weight.

Some old (3-5 years) rear projection tvs can sometimes be pretty good. Sony SXRD (LCoS technology) televisions were definitely getting there. If only the FED project was still as active as it once was.

Please don't even begin to compare rear projection.
Only the most expensive models could even hope to match colour output of CRT/Plasma. Not to mention the viewing angle was ~20 degrees, they burnt in really easily and they suffered from every problem that projectors have ever had.
There's a reason old tech is old tech. Because something better came. I resent the fact that Blu-Ray won, but accept that it has.
Please guys, accept that CRT is dead, except in VERY specialised environments.

If you go back and look at it, now what do you think? Was it the placebo effect at all?
