GhaleonUnlimited said: If you want something in the 30"-odd range there's absolutely no reason to get an LCD. Since people don't know how awesome they are anymore, you can get a CRT HD cheaper than the price of this. CRTs have basically unnoticeable lag even when displays resolutions outside of their native, and the picture on CRTs still isn't matched by all these new technologies they're selling to the masses. Plus CRTs look fantastic displaying 480i/p stuff, unlike LCD. Aaaand in this TV in particular, 1080p is ridiculous. You literally can't tell 720p/1080p apart until you get over 50" or so. You're throwing $$ down the crapper right there. |
This TV is 720p not 1080p. It can input 1080p which a lot of supposedly hi def TVs cannot including a lot of TVs displaying the "HD Ready" sticker!
I want a flat panel as my current CRT is taking up far too much room as is too heavy to move on my own. It's a hefty widescreen thing.
CRT TVs (even HD) are actually very difficult to get hold of over here now unless you want a very small one. They're also just as if not more expensive than LCD TVs. Amazon UK has one HD CRT TV listed and it's not currently available even on the marketplace. Currys is a big UK retailer and this is their entire stock of anything "CRT" - a whole 4 items.
In the UK HD is flat panel.
