I was using CRT until recently, sadly it broke in a way nobody could fix :( Reasons why I preferred it over flat panel: 1. Zero lag (lag annoys me a lot when I am gaming) 2. Arbitrary resolutions (for example I was running several recent games using a medium-range video card, with graphic options on ULTRA or above, because the games would look gorgeous on CRT with low resolution) 3. Arbitrary resolutions (want to use content for other format than widescreen? It is covered! Content designed for pixels that are not square? It works too!) 4. Stupid high refresh rate if desired (while lowering resolution of course) 5. Stupid high resolution if desired (while lowering refresh rate). 6. Better contrast (one of the reasons I got CRT back was that I got annoyed with flat panel when I tried to play SuperHOT and watch Game of Thrones on the same day, if I avoided SuperHOT becoming a white blob, Game of Thrones became black blob, if I avoided Game of Thrones becoming black blob, superhot became white blob) The last one sadly is only "theoretical" for me because I never had the right equipment and software, but CRT could do HDR images, for example Silicon Graphics for a time was shipping computers for digital art that had a fancy video card that could output 48 bits of colour, that computer came with a ginormous widescreen CRT too... I believe that CRT is the one John Carmack is using in a famous photo. Also I heard before Windows Vista that introduced a lot of DRM-related restrictions on video and sound drivers, you could do a lot of fancy shenanigans with CRTs, seemly intended for engineers and architects, but I never got too much details about it, I never seen it in person and nobody ever described it to me, I only saw people bemoaning it was removed.
