My parents arent seniors they are 52 and 54 and a crt is not an option it has to be either a lcd or plasma flat panel.
Follow Ups:
plasma or lcd aren't as nice as a crt.
53 and wouldn't touch a plasma or lcd or dlp.
CRT is picture quality no. 1.
because a crt wont fit.

..I know that has been the orthodoxy (that CRT PQ is tops) for a long time. I feel that the best plasmas throw a more holographic and chromatically rich image than even the best CRT's.And from a far more practical POV, the whole issue is essentially moot as CRT's are hardly being manufactured anymore and those that are are typically low end, "budget" affairs.
Face it, CRT's are today's betamax machines.
Say, bye bye CRT.
You were great but your time has passed.
Over realistic colors and image.
Poor black detail compaired to crt.
LCD with it's motion artifacts. DLP also.
Stuck pixles.
When I was shopping for a new TV I saw a Sharp Aquinos
at the PC Richards store with what looked like a pimple
on the canned fishtank picture on one of the fish.
The fish moved and the pimple remained.
A beautiful yellow-green spot close to the center of the picture.
Awful. Also not covered under any warrantee.
You would be stuck with that awful dot right near the middle
of the screen.
Fast action on LCD's & DLP's annoy me to no end with all the out
of focus image's.
To bad the crt is being replaced by a second rate product.
CRT has the best blacks, but any other advantages are disappearing fast. They are seriously size limted, and CRT RPs have their own problems. LCOS beats it in most catagories,and come in decent sizes. Good plasmas are getting there, getting better and better every year. When buying a plasma, make sure the store has a good pixel policy, or a good return policy. The best ones, are a bit overpriced though.
Until DLPs get rid of the color wheel, I cannot watch them due to the rainbows.
Perhaps SED, if it ever happens, will be the best of all worlds (yea right).

Sized doesn't matter. I like to sit close anyway.

Yep, the old CRT is on its way out for sure.I am wondering if SED tv sets will make it to market & if they will be as good as promised?
I do think that some of the good crt look better than lcd, for example my Samsung TSL2795hf looks amazing on 1080i hdtv and 480p dvds, at least as good as an LcD. But where it really takes the cake is how nice it looks on SD digital cable channels, it is far better than either of my brother brand new Samsung lcd screens.
Also my dad is an electrical engineer so if it blows up its most likely he will fix it himself. But Im kinda hoping that any television they would buy would not blow up! Im not so sure name brands get you any more quality, alot of the time you are just paying extra for the name.
Quality, is in terms of things like power supply, which you cannot see, but make a difference in the long term. Most off brand tvs cut corners where you cannot see them.
