I grew up with crt both as tv and computer monitor.

The last crt I regularly used was the shared tv in my dorm, which I moved out of in 2008.

I absolutely have no memory of them being superior.

Digital Foundry did a write-up on it:

Left and right panning is also an issue in cinema.

Are we sure this is a lcd issue and not a frame rate?

I remember the weight and desktop real estate they consume.

We had 21" CRTs back in the 90s for full page displays. I remember someone at a client injuring their back moving one. One of my former coworkers broke a desk by putting a CRT on it. I had a 27" TV that I could barely lift. Now I can easily move 55" TVs. I haven't gotten stronger in the past 30 years.

I had a Sony HD CRT widescreen that weighed 245 pounds. The image was incredible , especially the blacks.
