> But their combination of refresh rate (without blur), image quality, and color reproduction are still second to none.

Not true. A current generation OLED (which will do 120hz) is superior to a CRT.

Even still, on many of those a good LCD has long been better than a good CRT. Color accuracy, for example. CRTs required constant fiddling & calibration to stay good at that, whereas a quality factory calibrated LCD will be much better in an "out of the box" or typical usage. Not really sure what you're calling "image quality" but it's hard to imagine that going any way but solidly in a modern high-end LCDs camp, which are brighter, wider color gamuts, higher resolution, and higher pixel densities than CRTs ever had.

> there must be a market for high end screens for gamers.

There is, which is why we have high resolution, high refresh rate, and adaptive vsync IPS monitors a plenty now. They come in all sorts of shapes & sizes, in resolutions & dimensions CRTs could only dream about.
