Besides all that, OP, they have better refresh rates than most LCD and LED monitors.

I don't know the technical technical about it but games look and even feel more sluggish on the average LCD probably because of the refresh rate and ghosting stuff. I have a 120hz LCD monitor and it's night and day compared to the 60hz one (when I first got it and started using it I felt like I was going to throw up for the first few hours lmao) but I'm sure a CRT looks even better for those reasons, especially a nice one.

Another point in favor of CRTs: It's harder to get cool warped color rear end regions of screen in a LCD, in my experience. Having a yellow edge and a burgundy corner of a CRT just gives game's that much more charm.

Asus is my sworn electronics enemy. Mine had a dead pixel on it in the middle and when I sent it to be repaired I bought a 10 dollar UPS box (they told me not to send it in the retail box alone) they left it in the warehouse for weeks, and when I called to ask what was going on they didn't even know they had it, and then when they sent it back a few weeks later my UPS box was gone and they shipped it in the retail box and for all I know didn't even look at it.
