If the function of a monitor is to accurately represent an image then LCD was a total failure. I never seen an LCD screen that could accurately represent even a single color, let alone a whole image full of them. Filling the whole screen with a color like #FF7D00 always results in strong gradients, especially around the corners.

Sometimes I think we were all fooled by marketing into thinking that HD resolution was the only thing that mattered just because LCD screens were less expense for companies to make/ship/stock when really we were giving up accurate color representation, faster response times, better viewing angles, zero motion blur, and extremely flexible resolution/refresh rates. I also resent the loss of the degauss button, which was way more fun/satisfying than it had any right to be, but maybe that's just me.
