Actually, no.
Now you might prefer it, and more power to ya, but in real numbers most of the new display formats pretty much have it beat.
A friend of mine is cussing because his 47in RPTV by samsung is too dim, have to watch
it in a dark room and the old lady doesnt like that.
We have a 27in datagrade crt that used to be used in endoscophy, a very sophisticated
SONY (PAL, SECAM, NTST) with internal/external sync, overscan control, and the specs say it can realizde 600 lines. We got them because the new LCD monitors the doctors
use can resolve 1900 by something or other, something that comes in handy when you're replacing a heart valve by looking at it. Bigger too, HUGH screens. Very nice.
And please dont tell me that PQ is more important than "numbers", been hearing that from the turntable crowd for years in regard to audio.
I like a good listen on my turntabe every so often, but it cant beat high res sound
And a CRT will never beat a source with 2,000,000 pixels
