I came across a Consumer Reports magazine issue from about 4 years ago, back when CRT displays were still in showrooms. Sony CRT sets got the highest ratings for picture quality, and only plasmas came anywhere close in the hang-on-the-wall displays.

Maybe the lesser brands just need more care taken with calibration. CU could have figured it wasn't fair to expect average consumers to have sets ISF calibrated, and simply used whatever presets the manual suggested.
