I really miss CRTs. They had more vivid colour, had near zero response times, and I even _liked_ the blur the scanlines caused. Not to mention the calm that the simplicity brought; turn on, watch.

While I can appreciate the advantages of CRTs (I didn't switch to LCD until 120Hz LCDs were released), I don't see how CRTs have "turn on, watch" simplicity. CRTs needed careful calibration to look their best, and even when calibrated correctly needed a minute or so to fully warm up.
