You're lucky with your CRTs. The ones I've seen that were a few
years old, had bad screen burn, plus a nasty colour cast as one
of the electron guns had lost emission. I was glad to have my
last CRT monitor replaced here (by an LCD) because it had bad
Moiré patterning, which could only be cure by defocussing it
badly.
Having used CRTs and LCDs, I would never go back to CRT without
a fight. Fortunately LCDs are (a) so cheap (I don't understand
your comment about outrageously overpriced LCDs), (b) the only
type commonly available.
(Sorry, OT...)
