Yes, I agree that CRTs, especially the Sony top-of-the-lines, are still the best picture available.

Regarding LCDs, I can only say that the Sharp Aquos Flat Panels (32" and larger) did not suffer the fast speed pixelation/loss of focus effect that the Sony 42" back-projection model had. I did not look at the smaller Sharp Aquos LCDs so cannot render an opinion on their picture quality.

The decision will ultimately come down to total dollars. It is very obvious from reading the AVS Forum and this website that HDTVs are not plug'n'play like analog sets. Component matching, clean signal, and calibration are all required to really get the performance out of these TV sets. The question boils down to "How much will it cost to buy the components that are a good match?" I haven't finished the research on that question yet.
