I meant an old CRT is more washed out than a new one. Elsewise, yea, in some ways CRT tech is better than LCD.

True, but there's no way have a single set of settings that works for everyone's monitors. Most of the time it's hard to tell if your monitor is off, as you generally get used to it as you go. I had an old CRT that got stupidly dark, but I didn't notice it until a friend showed me some artwork. It was a dark picture, but alls I saw was blackness. I ended up using the gamma corrector that came with photoshop 6 to increase the brightness.. until the monitor for too broken.
