Haha thanks for your suggestions, I'll look into it :)
And with CRTs, yeah, they can be pretty good. Of course, a calibrated CRT has perfect black levels, but that's not even the best part. OLED and Plasma can do that too, after all. What I love about CRTs is the motion clarity. During motion, every display except CRTs becomes blurry. That's the most important part for me. It makes a night and day difference for games.
I made a post about a high end CRT monitor here. This monitor can go up to 1440p or up to 160hz (not both at the same time, though). I love it.
And of course, a standard definition CRT is awesome for any pre HD console. They look awesome.
So yeah, I think we definitely lost something with the transition to LCD and OLED. I hope I didn't get into to much detail here, once I start with talking about the greatness of CRTs, it's hard to stop :)
