LCDs ain't LCDs (remember the engine oil ads?).
There are LCDs with shocking colour accuracy and black levels (laptops are generally worse) and there are good ones, just as there are bad CRTs and good CRTs.
Colour profile calibration and setup is very important if you want accuracy. But some LCDs suck even with calibration.
Make sure you set the black level correctly. The same applies to CRTs. A CRT with the brightness set too high will also give grey blacks. The only blanket statement that you can make is that every non-broken CRT is able to deliver perfect blackness.
"I think you may have misunderstood. You would be hard-pressed finding any graphic designer using anything but a CRT."
That is not true. I was surprised when I heard it, but graphic designers are using good calibrated LCDs these days.
