(digital LCDs - ADC, DVI, etc; analog LCDs.. ahem.. junk ;))

But.. CRTs have a much cleaner and smoother spectrum. CRTs and LCDs both operate at 24+ bit color, but the LCD will slightly band (ramp?) where as the CRT generally won't.

It's sort of looking at a 24bit image with lots of sweeping gradients in 24bit mode (CRT), and 16bit mode (LCD) - you'll spot the ramps where it would otherwise be smooth. It's not noticable at all unless you do a side by size comparison. It's a technology limitiation of all LCDs.
WTF?! A bit late are we?
