Sounds like some people need a new CRT!

If anyone cares, a good CRT outputs 70% of the colors as seen by the human retina, and they have absolutely excellent black levels. At least this holds true if you get something other than a Trinitron CRT which trades colors for sharpness - and adds annoying little wires in the monitor that can easily be seen with the naked eye on bright backgrounds.

For a good TFT, expect about 30% of the colors of the human eye, along with horrible black levels due to the backlight.
