While it's true that CRT sets offer some of the best picture quality also consider the fact that it's easier to get subjectively better quality from a smaller screen (like the typical 34" CRT screen). I have a 34" Sony XBR 16:9 CRT set and it's outstanding but it's bulky and weighs over 200 pounds!If you need anything larger than about 34", you have no choice but to consider something other than a CRT. The 37" LCD direct view screens are only marginally larger than a 34" CRT but considerably more expensive and not worth the cost for such a small incremental gain in screen size.
If you need anything larger than 34" the next step up should be 42" or larger, IMHO.
I have a 'budget' 42" EDTV plasma screen that I actually enjoy a lot more than my 'high-end' 34" HDTV Sony CRT. Sometimes bigger is better, overall. Just some thoughts to consider. Good luck.
