I did not think there was any argument about CRTs being more accurate.
Was recently in a very high end post house. Supposedly one of the best
on the West coast, maybe in North America. The colorist used a CRT.

LCD technology is actually pretty primitive. I went to an eye-opening
demonstation at Dolby/Brightside in Vancouver, BC. Look is up on
Google. In short, they extend the luminance of the signal, which is
severely restricted in LCDs. The results are absolutely dazzling.
