Not every high-hertz LCD will be better than a CRT in every dimension - black levels and off-angle viewing being the two points that a CRT could hope to lead on - but a 120hz OLED, on the other hand...
Human eyes don't have a refresh rate, per se. I recall hearing that they can discern differences in frequency up to 3 kHz or so; though obviously you can go much slower than that and still feel smooth and relatively responsive.
Object recognition requires you to see an insane amount of detail. You can reconstruct a lot, but you still have to see a lot before you can recognize an entire object.
That puts the threshold for basic perception much higher; you may not be able to see the details of the objects flashed at you for 1/500 of a second, but you can tell that something was flashed. If a bright light is strobing at 500Hz, you can tell it's strobing, not just on.

Cant wait for my 1000hz monitor!
My last CRT Iiyama monitor had quite a refresh rate - 120Hz or more - and the picture looked absolutely gorgeous.
It weighed a tonne and took up quite a lot of desk.
Monitors with high refresh rates (usually 140Hz but up to 240Hz) are quite common among gamers these days.
And worse than CRT in almost every way.
Mass? Real estate? Ergonomics? Power consumption?
Also no x-rays
Any better than a CRT?

I have an MSI 32" 2K with 1ms gray-to-gray 144hz refresh rate. My old Philips CRT was 120hz. The new tech is absolutely better.
1ms Gray to Gray means nothing since the move from one color to another is not linear in LCDs
At least it is mouthful.
I'd think so. CRTs could never match the resolution or size what with we see in LCDs today.
CRT did have blurry and distorted image.
Can't wait for my 1000hz eyeballs!

Fighter pilots can recognize an object flashed at them for ... 1/240th a second? Something like that?
I would consider that approximately the upper bound.
