Tru Flat CRT better than LCD when handling darker colors

[RaymondLeggs]

I have a Modern CRT Tru-Flat TV from 2004 (I know its not vintage) but the image clarity and color vibrancy is almost as good as an LCD.

and this is generic but somewhat Big CRT TV from wal-mart.

One thing I notice about CRT's is that the darker colors seem more realistic than the LCD. Why is this Isn't an LCD sapposed to be better than even the best CRT?

I'm comparing it to my Dell LCD computer monitor.

This is only with DVD's though
