I am perfectly happy with my 3x 15" Dell 1504FP TFTs, I shudder to think how much my desk would groan under the weight of equivalent CRTs, let alone the increased electricity bill, and to be honest, I don't think I'd fit them on. And I sure as hell wouldn't want 15" CRTs, because they're mostly POS's.
I think the moral here is that only people who think they're better than everyone else want CRTs, and in reality, TFTs are fine for the majority of people.
That's not saying some people don't have valid uses for high end CRTs, but you guys are overplaying the need for them, dramatically.
Yes, I do use CRTs and TFTs regularly, I have a 21" iiyama vision master pro 501 on my desk at work, and I am quite happy running that at 1600x1200 @ 75hz, and I'm happy with the picture it gives me, but I'd still rather sit here with my 3 15 inchers.
