I think perhaps the TV had some sentimental value (which is VERY weird for me, no sentimentality for objects here usually). It was absolutely my first purchase after my divorce 12-13 years ago. I lost my wife and thus my house and ended up in a condo. That big (at the time) TV (and new VCR and DVD player, $ at the time) made me feel just a tiny bit better about my situation.
Thanks for all the replies, bought a 50" plasma which we're putting in the family room for daily viewing and moved out the old 27" Hitachi into the bedroom. It's a fair bit smaller, but liveable. It's about 26 years old, so I'm sure also on it's way out as well!

Grant, you'll love the plasma if you have hd programming. If you only have sd, you will not like it as much as your old crt. That has always been my experience.

Because the 50" Samsung ended up replacing the 26 year old 27" Hitachi (and it moving to our BR), we're thrilled. Much larger picture and looks just fine on SD. Some channels are much better than others, but overall we're very happy.
Haven't tried a DVD yet, but will some time soon. We don't use that room for movie viewing, so the picture is not really that important TBH. I actually went with the intention of finding an "old tech" TV (720P ...?), but there were none anymore, and this was a pretty good deal so bought it.
