Hi there
> it's the 34" CRT HDTV 16:9
As Wendell above suggests, you should first check if this "HDTV" has an ATSC tuner, or is just HDTV-ready.
> He liked the brightness/sharpness of the CRT
I understand; I still use CRT computer monitors and CRT front projector in the HT.
> no good coupon eligible that are true HDTV
Good or not, a coupon-eligible converter is restricted to RF, composite video and S-video outputs (which are all NTSC video, analog, SD, 480i).
> Which reasonable DTV tuner should I look for
The common rec is for the Samsung DTB-H260F at about $170.
The cheapest is the Centronics ZAT502, but reviews are mixed.
If cost is a big issue, then a CECB will suffice. The PQ will be pristine and as good as, if not better than, analog cable. The resolution will not be HD, but leave that for those who are in love with specifications and perfect eyesight. The Zenith and ChannelMaster CECBs are the most often recommended converters. Last week Fry's had the CM7000 on sale for a new low of $50, or net $10 w/coupon.
