Perhaps I'm going out on a limb here, since I haven't seen any
high-end or "properly calibrated" models, but I'm strongly inclined to
believe that what I describe as a "grainy" appearence (as opposed to
wat I'd call the "smooth" appearence of a CRT) is something that's
inherent to the technology. It's not something that can be calibrated
out.

If I manage to find a photography or graphics arts store in my area
that has some high-end LCDs on display, I will of course have a look
at them, but I'm not going to spend several times the amount in my
budget to get an LCD that looks like a CRT, when I can just get a CRT
instead!
