The only reason I would recommend a CRT these days is for color reproduction and for people who need multiple resolutions on one monitor. They have fixed the ghosting issues years ago, the blacks (for computer monitors and TV's) do look decent now, and contrast is pretty good. You still have issues with 24bit color depth on most LCD screens.

People doing video editing still keep CRT monitors around to see what the final product looks like (if they need color correction).
