"Better"? Let me address the consumer realm stuff:
~~~
LOL. That's a VERY simplistic broad brush. Nope, it's utter SHITE, and for a few reasons, the most annoying of which is the perpetual re-hashing of something (re-inventing the wheel continually) and it being marketed as "Ground-breaking" and "Game-changing" <CRINGE>
Marketing bollocks is what makes us PERCEIVE all this crap as "better". I'd HAPPILY take the 70s or 80s, and barely ANY of this tech, but with the upside of more compassion, humanity, more community, people ACTUALLY VISITING AND TALKING AND LISTENING... and you can shove all this flimsy plastic "advanced" shite into landfill.
It's a load of old horse shit.
Having a bad day today?
As someone who has done professional 3D graphics and graphic design, I'll gladly take today's display tech over CRT.
As stated before, better geometry, pixel perfect, light weight, not taking up half my desk, and better colour accuracy and gamut make for a happier me.
My laptop has a 100% Adobe Gamut 4K panel and my external monitor is 100% sRGB. Both work great.
I just wish the external panel would get around to dying so I could upgrade to a 100% Adobe gamut screen there too.
Alas, I didn't buy cheap crap (it's an Eizo monitor) so I'll have to endure a good screen instead of a great screen...

Having said that, you can pry my collection of small and miniature sized CRT's from my cold dead fingers.....
CRT's are just cool to me somehow, LCD panels just lack a certain charm.
