I use CRTs, and I use lcd.
LCDs are convenient and small, but the image quality is pretty crap on the ones I have. Viewing angle is typically atrocious. I may photograph a crt, or an lcd, depending on the look I want. I always compare them to amps. This is like “why do people use tube amps?” because it adds some quality the user enjoys.
Something no one has addressed yet is using CRTs for scan processing, oscillographics, vector stuff. The only way for me to do that stuff is with a crt. I don’t have a stroke to raster converter, but even if i did, I would still use the crt too.
I’ve drifted away from rescanning a typical tv crt, I don’t like the surface distortion, and the varied moire it imparts, I mostly rescan off an lcd…
