True, but the latest generation of sets use a resolution much, much higher than older TVs - even HDTVs.. 1080p has half again more lines of resolution than 720p, and each line has half again more pixels in it, which means that the electron gun has to scan 2.25x as fast to maintain the same number of frames per second.
Also, LCD TVs have some advantages over CRTs, especially in brightness. For the "best of the best", you need to look at some high-end (albiet smaller) LCDs made by NEC and other high-end companies, which have almost no ghosting at all with contrast and brightness far better than most large CRTs.
Besides, I've yet to see a 37" CRT for $750. Show me that, and I'll concede.
