Even though technology has "moved on" from CRTs now and I can buy a ludicrously clear / light / thin / high-resolution display for pennies compared to a CRT, I pine for the giant 20" Trinitron monitor I had picked up from an HP-UX surplus sale.
I wonder if or when it'll ever be economic to make a display that rivals CRTs in terms of characteristics that now make them seem so unreal for video games. Put another way, if we had to create a new CRT-rivaling display tech with more modern manufacturing capabilities, what would we come up with? Maybe little micro-arrays of electron guns? A spinning array of micropulsing lasers? I'm so habituated to new technologies feeling magical, that clear evidence of a back-slide feels... wrong.
