CRTs give the excitement of science
Electrons are coaxed away from matter, then shot through an artificial vacuum near the speed of light. Then they're meticulously guided by magnetic forces to SMASH into a pinpoint of phosphor to excite the release of photons, thousands of times every second, in perfect harmony.
LCDs are just really really smart Christmas lights. Very practical, but a bit boring.
Also, horizontal storage space, like having a shelf in the most ideal place to have a shelf.
