  You can get for $4250 mail order. Uses Sony 16x9 panels but cheaper and better than Sony 11HT

  A used CRT from a reputable dealer is the best bang for the buck IMO. A 6 year old CRT that was used for corporate displays with tubes that are not burned in and only 3000 hours or so will be working for up to 10,000 hours on the same tubes. AVS forum has a section on CRTs and Curte Palme is the man to contact.

  I have a Barco 1208 that is built to mil spec,capable of HDTV resolution. Two years ago it cost me $6500 but today they are available for 1/2 of that amount because industrial use is going digital. Not for a better picture quality but for convenience. CRT is still the highest quality picture available.

  Apart from finite tube life, the best of which is probably past in a used unit, the more modern ones are much, much easier to keep in shape. I find myself checking out convergence, focussing etc from time to time to maintain the best possible picture so double check that whatever you get is not a hassle in this regard.

  To answer your question I understand some of the latest Sony units are very good but other inmates can probably give more personal advice on this. I also suggest you check out the AVS forum at

  Good hunting. Please report back to us what you finally choose & why.

  POSTSCRIPT: Make sure you buy from a helpful dealer. Until you become familiar with your new toy and can adjust it yourself, you will rely on backup.
