Are CRT monitors completely obselete now?

They are extremely large in comparison to LCD monitors, and they require far more power. So yes, CRTs are typically considered obsolete by today's standards, especially with the introduction of LED LCDs, which have a far better black level and color contrast. LED/LCD monitors also have far greater resolution, since a typical CRT resolution is about 480i, while LED/LCDs can handle resolutions up to 4K. LED/LCDs have much sharper picture, due to higher resolution, and modern LED/LCDs don't have the motion blur problems that earlier LCDs had. These factors make modern LED/LCDs better than CRTs in almost every aspect, and are the cause of CRTs becoming obsolete.
