Do "roundie" color sets make a better picture than later sets?

Okay. That's fine, don't want to create controversey. The tread creator wanted to know why folks liked roundies and went on to say that he didn't think flat panels were that great compared to roundies or that is the impression I got.

I like the latest technology in flat panels and I also appreciate the nostalgia of the roundies. IMHO, the best quality color television that exists today, is produced by 4K OLED flat panel television.

It is possible to demonstrate HD to a certain extent via a digital converter box on a roundie with a screenshot. A roundie then, is displaying a digital HD signal, limited by its technology. A flat panel can better display an HD image. If one says that a flat panel is not great in comparison to a roundie, I question that.
