Digital Foundry did a video on modern gaming on a CRT and it was pretty compelling. I did think about getting one for a bit after that episode.

The CRT is not the problem, I have two myself, one high-end graphics monitor from 2003 and an average office monitor from 1993.

The issue is having the CRT right beside an ultrawide with no other monitors (like, say, a 16:9 or 16:10 for things that do not play nice with 4:3 or ultrawides), and also the part where that ultrawide is the the crime against good taste that is 32:9
