My 34" 16:9 Sony XBR is almost a couple years old now and I couldn't be happier. There are in fact advantages to CRTs over rear projection big screens. I've never seen a rear projection big screen (even recent DLP or LCD based) that comes close to the sharpness of a CRT. Viewing angle is also very good, brightness is very good too. Someone commented that the brightness is low on HD CRT sets. I have to disagree when compared to rear projection sets. The CRT is much brighter and sharper. Now I'd love to have a Plasma or direct view LCD but they're still way too expensive and I find that my CRT is still less expensive than the rear projection sets and looks better too.
