TPHD looks worse than TP on GC because the HD textures just don't mesh well with the low poly models and environments. The textures from the GC version obviously mesh way better with the models and environments, especially on a CRT TV.

How about TPHD on a HD CRT? Besides that, the gyro controls alone make it the superior version.
I disagree. The low res textures are blended to look highly detailed from a crt. On a modern display, there is no blending so everything looks pixelated and blurry. Nintendo compensates by putting high res textures. You get the same look, but for a different type of display
