>CRTs are unmatched for specific use cases

I'd say for PC usage they _were_ unmatched, but that's no longer the case. I played games professionally at one point, of course using CRTs when they were the superior choice, but in this day and age with affordable 240hz sub-1ms G2G LCD displays...

I just can't see any argument for using a CRT with a PC in 2019.

The arbitrary resolution support and superior color saturation might still justify using a CRT in some cases. Back in the day I ran a CRT at some bizarro resolution with custom XFree86 timings to get as much screen space or as high a refresh as possible while matching width or height of another different display. LCD scaling will always be blurrier.
