CRT's can still kick a surprising amount of ass. I have a 7 year old HD CRT (87cm) and 2 year old Hitachi 97cm TV (1080p) and until recently I had been gaming on the latter.
Since I got a few new games over the last couple of weeks and I felt guilty for hogging the LCD in the living room I decided to hook the Wii up to the CRT in my bedroom (via VGA) and I was quite shocked. It is still surprising to me how good 480p can look on the right TV and particularly when not subject to scaling of any kind.
The picture is just so much cleaner (than the LCD), it's sharper, it's jaggie free, has more natural colours, fab contrast and blacks that would make an LED TV quiver. My CRT is also huge, clunky, tempermental, very user unfriendly and subject to geometry issues but in terms of picture quality for sub HD resolutions in particular, it's hard to beat.
