*best colour accuracy by far (LCD doesn't come close to CRT here) *best viewing angles and response rates *easily able to switch to required resolution without looking sucky in 'non-native' res *Trinitrons had best sharpness for a CRT and their later iterations were basically vertically and horizontally flat.
The only downsides: size and power consumption (and perhaps not as much sharpness as an LCD, but imperative for accurate graphics work)
Shame it has come to this "crap colour, poor response rate and colour shifts as u move your head, but look, oooh it's slim"-type market.
I always thought that CRTs (Trinitron CRTs in particular) - because of their superior qualities in these areas - would always have a niche following in the market.
Looks like I was wrong. Getting one second-hand is becoming the only option. Now we have sections of the market searching in vain for LCDs that offer accurate colour and I'm thinking to myself "why?".

I have no idea why you were ranked low.
