Anyone know anything about old TEC Terminals?

I use a high-end flat-panel at work and a high-end CRT at home and my 
experience suggests that good ones still aren't quite as fast as the 
*best* CRTs, and they can't compete with phosphor persistence for 
smoothness but the difference is very quickly going away.  It won't be 
long before there's effectively none.  Any top-end CRT (of which they 
don't make many anymore -- a shame -- I buy mine used nowadays) will 
also have easily higher resolution than a flat panel of similar size. 
But the flat panels use *soo* much less power.

Try mine.  Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2040u.
