Yep, the average bundled CRT was pretty terrible and far below the average bundled LCD.

The higher-end CRTs (Trinitrons etc) were great, but tended to wear out over time. I'm somewhat surprised that Raymond still has one that hasn't gone blurry, as I haven't seen a nicely working one in quite a while.

Trinitrons look great when they are new, but wear out way too fast. I stick to shadowmask screens for that reason (and still use a nice CRT at home)
