Video production and post production pro here. A couple of things to add.
Until a few months ago I had an old 20” Sony CRT sitting unused in my post production suite.(pic attached) I was going to give it to a friend that collects old TVs, just to get some space back.
But before I did I jumped onto eBay to see if it was worth more than the $300 or so I thought, if even that. I ended up selling it to gamer who paid to have a shipping company pick it up, pack and ship to Canada. Total cost to him....... $5,000. Turns out it was sort of a holy grail of CRTs and had low hours, which was unusual since most of them were in large facilities and had many thousands of hours use. I still have a 14” version I plan to sell soon.
As far as Video in general, digital is far superior to anything analog ever had to offer, and my post suite is far superior to the million dollar suites when I first started out in the industry. Editing and color grading each needed their own at that cost.
The people who do color grading are just as picky and tweeky in their own way about setup as audio folks are.Picture of my suite with the CRT. (Getting rid of it has allowed room for much better placement of the genelec monitors - sub is there as well.https://i.imgur.com/p7Xn1lY.jpg
