The blacks on CRTs are still much better than LED's, even today. I don't have one, though.

Primarily for the deep, true black it can produce while I'm editing/mastering videos. LCDs still allow some light through where it should be true black and that skews the image quality. Plus the color output is different (gamut, contrast, temperature, etc.) from LCD/LED monitors. Plasma monitors were closer to CRTs re: black depth/color range but were heavy and way too hot for daily use.
Another reason I keep one around is for a backup monitor I can put in the rack in case I need to look at the servers directly (if the KVM fails).
