Note that crt's did not have bad blacks, they were far better than lcd displays. I am currently using an ips display and it has pretty good blacks, notably better than a normal lcd display. But I remember crt's being even better(probably just me being nostalgic for the good ol days when we were staring straight into an electron beam with only an inch of leaded glass to protect us). I Don't think they were lying, oleds are very very good(except for the burn in issue, but that's solvable), but I would be wary about the conclusions of a demo designed to sell something.

For what it's worth, the display I liked best was a monochrome terminal, a vt220, Let me explain, a crt does not really have pixels as we think of them on an modern display, but they do have a shadow mask which is nearly the same thing. however a monochrome crt(as found in a terminal or oscilloscope) has no shadow mask, the text of those vt220 was tight, it was a surprisingly good reading experience.
