I think HDTVs do it but I'm not sure. I have a "LED Technology" 16" monitor that looks heavily pixelated and must looked at from a distance to not notice it so I often switch to an old CRT. The curvature of the CRT is undesirable though, so I'm looking to buy either a flat CRT or an hdtv or led or lcd that produces a similar image.
Do any LCD or LED monitors blur pixels to look "smooth" like old CRTs?

There are lots of detailed explanations online. You will see that a pixel is a very sharply defined area of the screen, each one with its own transistor to control the brightness. There is no blending or blurring at all.
If you buy a tube monitor, expect to have to rebuild it every few years at a cost of 200 bux or more. That is because the filter capacitors go bad and you have to buy new ones; dozens of them.
You can get some very big screens, but the pixel size remains the same. So you sit farther away and the pixels blur like you wanted. Either that or cover it with bubble wrap.
I just noticed that you said 16". That is awfully small, and probably why the pixels look so big. Tigerdirect.com has a sale on monitors right now. You can get a 24" screen for something over a hundred bux, which is a very good deal.
I am using a 17" screen, but only because I insist on a 5:4 aspect ratio and there only seems to be one model available.
