As much as I love the picture produced by the big CRT I have in the guest suite, I would not buy that television again. It's way too heavy, there's no one left to fix it if it breaks, and it lacks key items that would allow it to better fit into a modern home entertainment setup. All this (and more) applies to the TV you're looking at.

Harmonia's "beautiful dinosaur" is an apt description.
