One of my favorite TV's ever was my last CRT. Choosing it over the LCDs and plasma's of the day was easy. It just looked so much better in general, and it didn't butcher SD content. It was a large flatscreen ( sorry I can't recall the size ) Sony Trititron with 720p/1080i resolution. Amazing built in speakers. The best picture in picture function I've ever seen to this day. Unreal color. Deep blacks. It didn't have HDMI ( it was purchased in 2003 ),but what I believe was it's precursor, DVI. An outstanding, intuitive menu. Even the remote was top-shelf. It was also a monolith. It weighed over 300 pounds.
When it died in 2009, I was living in smaller place, but I held onto this giant for 5 years before giving up on fixing it when had my place remodeled. As shame, because I have the space for it now. I paid almost the exact price for the Samsung LCD that replaced it in 2009, and it took a while to adjust to some of the downgrades. Plus it was a Samsung, so it came broken out of the box and required repair again within 3-4 months.
