I'm not looking at this point, it was just an observation. Although I'd like to have a flat screen in our sunroom to save space, and maybe even our bedroom, my CRT's pictures are fine with me. I'm not really much of a videophile.
I was more bothered by the fact that this new tech TV had such a strange picture. I'll likely not replace my TV's until they die, which who knows, may be soon:
-Sunroom TV; 27" Hitachi CRT. My first TV actually! 20+ years old, but it's fine for the sunroom until we can swing an LCD (non 120Hz, hehe) or something.
-Bedroom TV; 35" Sony CRT. Around 10-11 years old now. I built in a spot above our (split level entry 70's home) front hall closet. So it's not actually taking any space. It's fine.
-Downstairs extra room has my wife's first TV, ~15 year old RCA. It's a piece of turd, but we never watch it.
-PJ is the old X1. Not HD. It's fine for my eyes until it (or the bulb) dies
-19" LCD at the bar in the same room. Just for fun, don't actually USE it.
So yes, it'd be nice to replace the sunroom TV some day....

In fact, he gave away a CRT in anticipation of an HDTV upgrade. He's still hemming and hawing because he hasn't seen anything he likes. He wants "CRT-like" performance only with higher (HD) resolution and he wants a bright 100+ inch screen in a non-light controlled room. Good look with that. I think there's a 100" flat panel for a mere $70,000....Color saturation seems to be his biggest pet peeve and felt Laservue was the only technology which comes close to doing it right; except the only glimpse of a Laservue he's seen was a brief one before a pre-production unit crapped out in the showroom and with the production issues Mitsubishi has been having.... it'll be awhile.
A 19" CRT started to crap out on me which gave me the excuse to canvas HDTVs. When I started looking, Pioneer Kuro Plasmas looked the best to me. I wanted to give Laservue a chance but I haven't seen one utilizing a variety of sources, particularly sports broadcast (where LCDs have never shined IMHO) YMMV.

Once I make up my mind to do something it's done! I hummed (hemmed?) and hawed over BD for a while. The day I decided to go ahead I bought one. Not the next day, that day. So if and when it's time to buy a new TV it'll go like wildfire. :)
