I don't know about the arcade CRTs or games but I much prefer the
colors on the 19" SGI monitor I just retired to those of any LCD
screen I've used.  (It finally failed to light up, had been taking
increasingly long to warm up for a year, but the colors and
performance once up and running were fine right to the end.)  Same for
the 17" IBM that I've swapped in.  It had a loose internal plug which,
once gently squidged, cause no further trouble.
