The Sega/Namco 50" rear-projectors (I've played plenty of them) were CRT projectors, so they had the same basic characteristics as CRTs. And the non-deluxe cabinets definitely had CRTs right up in your grill, especially the sit-down versions of the driving games. (For some reason Scud Races tended to have really bad burn-in).
