I don't, but I feel like GP was just expressing respect for the aesthetics of the engineering accomplishment, orthogonal to whether it was obsolete or not.

CRT advantages over modern displays: - Blackest blacks. Deep detail in dark scenes. - Lower latency. - scanlines make everything look cooler. Especially pixel art. - nes and arcade light guns! Making this kind of experience work on modern lcds means entirely different much more expensive tech.
