"crts are actually better in pretty much every way the problem is that they are large (not flat panel) and they don't make them bigger than 36""

Apart from the fact that I never had a problem with too concave or convex, wrongly adjusted, moiree effects etc. images on an LCD monitor.
Since the CRT "projects" the image on a screen with a slot mask you do not have the 1 theoretical pixel is one physical pixel on the screen sharpness advantages you get on LCDs.

There is a reason LCDs took over for PC monitors first where sharpness is the most important property. And even if a brand-new, perfectly adjusted CRT monitor would be competitive the darn things often get grey and blurred with age. LCD monitors on the other hand will stay the same and loose perhaps a few pixels.
LCD monitors are just much better for the digital world.
