Obviously I agree with you about CRTs having unique attributes that LCDs are likely incapable of reproducing, but my experiences with trying to find a brand-new CRT monitor in the last few weeks haven't been encouraging.
I honestly believe, based on what I've seen, that 2 or 3 years from now there will be as many companies manufacturing CRT monitors as there are companies manufacturing open-reel analog tape decks today (that is to say, zero).
I've heard mention of the high end market for CRT monitors a few times now, but haven't actually come across any high end models for sale anywhere. Are you sure this market still exists?
I've posted a question relating to CRTs in some other newsgroups, and it seems photographers, graphic designers, video editors, etc., are either hoarding CRTs or switching to high end LCDs at this point. You'd think that if high end CRTs were still being made, some would be switching to those instead.
