CRTs have a huge advantage of not having fixed screen resolution. And my memory is not very good, but I think my eyes really did get tired much slower from them than from LCDs. I guess their size and their dangers were more important.

After all, space and health are very basic concerns in our world.

Our eyes are also much older now

If you don't regularly transplant new ones in maybe.

Depends on a refresh rate. < 60 Hz sucks, 75 Hz is acceptable, 85+ Hz ideal.
And how noisy is it, I mean in a high frequency range.
