The most interesting part of the article is the difference between different connection types/signals and the discussion around artistic intent and how the artwork is supposed to be viewed.
Also, with 4K+ high refresh displays we are getting closer and closer to emulate the look of CRTs!
I don’t know. I grew up on CRTs and have never missed them one bit. I have to disagree with the idea that CRT images were somehow better overall. A high-DPI LCD or OLED screen with decent color range runs circles around any CRT, IMO.
People also forget that most video game CRTs ran at a headache-inducing 60hz, which had an unpleasant strobe effect.
A good CRT makes a better image than any LCD screen I've ever seen. There are plenty of caveats: an aperture-grille CRT will look better when ambient light is high, but will wear out a lot faster than a shadow-mask. My last CRT monitor could handle 1600x1200@75Hz and the IPS panel I replaced it with was a huge downgrade in image quality.
The IPS panel was cheaper (19" vs 27" diagonal), larger, lighter and widescreen (both were 1200 vertical lines).

I still have two CRT displays and it's a joy to use them when playing an old game or typing something up.
It is insane how much space they take up. Landfills must be full of these huge things.
