This is actually the reason I believe CRTs look better for a given resolution.
Having used a CRT for many years and then switching to an LCD, I disagree; one of the major "wow" moments for me upon looking at an LCD for the first time (at native resolution) was how sharp and crisp everything was compared to the ill-defined blurriness of the CRTs I'd used before. I was finally able to see pixels as "little squares" (even their corners were discernable) and not the vague blobs they were before. Trying to use a CRT again for anything but picture-viewing (which naturally doesn't require the same level of sharpness) feels like my eyes can't focus and I need new glasses.
(That video was terribly nausea-inducing; definitely needs a warning.)
