I'm not looking at this point, it was just an observation. Although I'd like to have a flat screen in our sunroom to save space, and maybe even our bedroom, my CRT's pictures are fine with me. I'm not really much of a videophile.
I was more bothered by the fact that this new tech TV had such a strange picture. I'll likely not replace my TV's until they die, which who knows, may be soon:
-Sunroom TV; 27" Hitachi CRT. My first TV actually! 20+ years old, but it's fine for the sunroom until we can swing an LCD (non 120Hz, hehe) or something.
-Bedroom TV; 35" Sony CRT. Around 10-11 years old now. I built in a spot above our (split level entry 70's home) front hall closet. So it's not actually taking any space. It's fine.
-Downstairs extra room has my wife's first TV, ~15 year old RCA. It's a piece of turd, but we never watch it.
-PJ is the old X1. Not HD. It's fine for my eyes until it (or the bulb) dies
-19" LCD at the bar in the same room. Just for fun, don't actually USE it.
So yes, it'd be nice to replace the sunroom TV some day....
