Speaking as a professional in the film and video world. I can tell you that you will never get them to match.

The CRT has better color and black level depth. Unless your LCD is a professional model, you won't be able to get it to match perfectly.

I used to be called in to editing and compositing rooms to do exactly the same thing. They would always want to calibrate a LCD or Plasma display bought at Best Buy to the professional CRT monitor on their desktop. You can get the the colors close, but the contrast depth would never match.
