If Space is not an issue , go with CRT. It will provide at least as good , if not better , picture quality, and has a much better chance of reliability and longevity. It makes no difference if in 3 years DLP,LCD, or Plasma moves to the forefront. You are spending your hard earned money now. LCD's are prone to pixel burnout, DLP's need bulb replacing every 2-3000 hours, and Plasmas are way over priced .
Why anyone would want to deal with this, when CRT offers equal or superior picture quality is beyond me. By the way , Plasmas will eventually win out, but it will take several years for the prices to level out. Plasmas will win , becuase it intrigues the "average joe"
Women love them becuase they save space. Has nothing to do with the best technology, it what the consumer wants. But for 2004 / 2005 CRT is the wise choice.
