I remember CRTs being washed out, heavy, power hungry, loud, hot, susceptible to burn-in and magnetic fields... The screen has to have a curve, so over ~16" and you get weird distortions. You needed a real heavy and sturdy desk to keep them from wobbling. Someone is romanticizing an era that no one liked. I remember the LCD adoption being very quick and near universal as far as tech advancements go.
