Actually, modern flat screens have much better color than the old CRT sets, IF you turn off the "lighthouse" default sales-floor mode and set them to a calibrated mode. This is especially true because of the much better contrast (consistent, blacker blacks) of flat panel sets.
This was not true with the very early flat sets because makers had not gotten the hang of compensating the extreme non-linearity of LCDs to match the ideally smooth non-linearity of CRTs.
