this is foolish.
CRTs will never calibrate as well, or for as long as LCDs- period. ask *any* professional color management/workflow person and this will always read the same. CRTs have a *known lifespan of accuracy*. they literally burn out. nothing new. the only saving grace, is if you have treated the CRT very well and re-calibrated very, very often to ensure you are rotating the firing style of all those tubes. it still will not be as accurate ofter 2 years than an LCD will though.
and re: "Just a few years ago every computer was using a CRT for everything in desktop computing, and every CRT was glossy..."- srsly?? and just a few years before that, there was no 'internet'. weird, huh? sorry to be so sarcastic, but this is purely a state of technical development and evolving hardware. look at the *best* CRTs from those years- they were not highly reflective.... and, the best shops put film filters over them to help calibrate them.
sorry to stretch this debate out when the real point of the thread was glossy vs. matte MacBook screens, but there are some fairly large assumptions being made i hope other will benefit from being fixed.
