The best CRT's are better, but the average CRT is pretty poor. Unfortunately CRT's are now virtually obsolete and not generally available.
As others have said IPS and some PVA displays are the best for photo use.
For a mid priced high performance 24" 1920 x 1200 IPS monitor I would recommend the HP LP2475 LINK
It has very good reviews LINK, like all monitors, it is essential to calibrate properly.
I use an HP LP2065 monitor which is basically similar but with a 1600 x 1200 20.1" 4x3 screen.
Incidentally I ordered directly from HP and the delivery time was very good.

Would Pentax do the same?

Sigma - quality? Not in my experience, not unless like a "graunchy" movement.
But dont take my word for it, read here for some user reviews.
I have this lens and my only negative would be that I only ever use it at the long end, and usually with a 1.4TC attached so the 100-200 bit is possibly a waste if I had the choice again I would just go for a 300 prime.

Good effort though I do like the thinking.

You could also mess about with the reds in Hue / saturation
If you will permit me here is a quick effort, which may or may not be to your taste

A slightly rotated ND grad would give even better effect.
