and they noted the pro's and cons of all of them - the CRT did have some advantages and rather important ones.
Keep in mind though that this article is fairly old - and since that time Plasma and LCD have greatly improved.
The CRT's big drawback is weight, expense to build, and energy efficiency. And if you're Sony and you can build an LCD for $50 and sell it for $1800 or make a CRT for $300(shipping is a killer) and sell it for $350 which would you prefer?
No one wants CRT and so other than buying the odd RCA or Emmerson still hanging around the 13 inch CRT TV market or old stock "let's get rid of them if we can" models that might be in your in local small town department store I think you're going to be out of luck finding any CRT makers selling in North America.
You're forced to cave in and buy one of the flat screens. I can say that I've been happy with the Sony Bravia 40 inch LCD screen we bought last year. I think though that UHF certainly had a point on a few aspects that they raised. Motion is still something not quite perfect.
Here's the magazine article - page 19-21
