It's all about the technology. The idea that a full color image can be produced from a single electron beam instead of three fascinates me. As a result no need for convergence control, simple circuits, etc.

I will be posting a video of the Sony IDX 5000 Indextron which has a bigger screen, much improved contrast and resolution. The phosphor and index stripes are of a finer pitch. It's so bright it hurts your eyes when it's turned on because it produces a brief white screen during power up.
