  I looked at TV's for more than a year. Wanted a 42" Plasma/LCD/Rear Projection, but went with the SONY 34". It is the picture quality, pure and simple. All of the other TV's had some "problem" or artifact that I would not be able to live with over the long term. So, gave up some picture size, but traded quantity for quality!

  I'm not familar with those sets, but when shopping recently for a TV I really wanted the top-of-the-line Sony XBR 34 inch CRT. As that model has now been discontinued, I've seen it selling for around $1000!

  Circumstance dictated that we get a 40" Sony LCD, but if the 34' xbr didn't weigh 200 pounds and take up as much space, I would have convinced my wife that that was the one to get.

    I bought the Toshiba 34hf85 and returned it twice. Pixelation all over the place on DVD, horrible on analog television. Looked good in the store on Digial (I bought the display model, traded it in for a new one, and still retured that one). Have heard people happy with this TV, but looks like i had a bit of bad luck. Like Toshiba overall tho.

    I've heard there will basically be not more toshiba/sony new models for CRTs. While its' a mature tech, I'm surprised they're not going to slim them down at all.....we'll see.

    I was shopping a few months ago and that picture is amazing, probably the best overall image on the showroom floor. I ended up buying the 50 inch SXRD Sony because at 200lbs and a 34 inch picture the CRT had two major strikes against it.

      I decided to get one, paid $ 965.00 for a floor model.

      Sure it is big and heavy, but I had it deliverd for an extra $ 45.00, and it sits downstairs in a finished basement.
      Right now I get a dozen HD stations on cable, and the picture is just stunning.

      • You should put casters under the stand. - GTF 13:04:42 05/08/06 (0)

        2" ball casters.
        They make moving the tv so very easy.

        If I needed a CRT 36" or smaller, Sony Wega CRT would surely be the one. If I needed 50" or more, Sony SXRD RPLCD would be the one. Native 1080p material played on 1080p Sony SXRD is beyond stunning. Too bad 1080p material is going to be hard to come by.

          Much easier to move the recliner !
          However the futon is dead center, presents the best view.

          I happened to catch the beginning of CSI Miami the other night in HD. ( Really a terrible show IMHO ), and the opening scenes of Miami are just unbelievable .
          Colors, clarity, detail , etc.
