"So blurry you can barely tell what you're looking at" is near HD quality? CRTs can make a low resolution image look smoother which is preferable to "sharp with lots of scaling artifacts" (which is how low resolution content looks on an LCD) but they can't boost the actual image fidelity or achieve anything close to HD quality. A 600p game on an LCD is still going to look much better than a 480p game on a CRT.
1080p on 23" CRT display looks nicer though Waaaay better colours without any lag, ghosting and stuff. But that's a professional display which was about 2k bucks back then and hard to get at all today and minimal ebay price is 850-1000.
For TVs, well most of modern LCD TVs use ugly TN displays, i'd prefer a bit lower resolution but better colours.
Also i have 32" CRT TV that can do even 1080p (one of the latest). It has only one disadvantage - it's BIG and heavy, so it's not easy to mount it on the wall
