I used to know a lot of digital photographers who clung to their CRTs for a long time after LCDs became common. You could get LCDs with better color reproduction, but they were extremely expensive, especially compared to the fact that you could barely even get rid of CRTs (and all of the photographers I knew were constantly cash-strapped from all the photography kit they compulsively purchased). It's gotten better, your run-of-the-mill low-end LCD these days isn't that bad, and better ones aren't that much more expensive anymore. But yes, there was a long time when CRTs outperformed LCDs on this one metric.
