the CRTs are just fine -- and probably display slightly better colour gamut and contrast ratio than most LCDs.

the whole 240Hz tv thing is only handy if you watch movies filmed at 24FPS. .but broadcast signals are 60Hz interlaced.. or 30FPS. (60, 30, and 24 all divide into 240Hz, so TVs don't have the conversion issues when displaying in their native refresh rates).

I guess 240Hz is handy for 3d too, since you can refresh the glasses at 120Hz/eye (at least if the content is 30 or 60fps).
