These flat screen tv's

[milanbenes]

was in the local electrical shop last night, comparing the flat screen tv's, plasma lcd etc and crt

crt's are less than a third of the price of equivalent size lcd's and plasma, and no matter how big or how expensive I can't see any plasma's or lcd's which have a clearer sharper picture than the crt's

why do people spend so much hard earned on this immature technology lcd's and plasmas and put up with such crap pictures ?

Have you tried mounting a CRT on the wall above your fireplace?

[milanbenes]

oracle, less of it

Moscow, it'll be in the other corner, fireplace in one corner, tv in t' other

as it will be on it's own in a corner, there is no problem to have crt or flat screen and with the pictures so crap on the flat screens can't see any argument why not to get a traditional crt

I think CRT's are better for watching SD material.

A decent LCD or Plasma with a HD source looks the business, they don't take up half your lounge and look far sexier.

A 37" panel is a good balance for watching both SD and HD. 42" and larger makes a poor quality source look terrible.

Get yourself Sky HD and a Blueray player. Sell the passat if need be.

I agree with MB: I've looked around the shops and I haven't seen anything that I thought was better picture wise than my old Sony widescreen CRT, so I've been put off "upgrading", no matter how trendy it is to own one.

My Step-Father has a HUGE plasma jobby, connected to a regular Sky SD box, and it looks terrible. It really shows up all the deficiencies of the compressed picture much more than a regular SD CRT would.

The space that it saves in the house is worth more than the price of the TV.

Buy a bigger house and install a home cinema!

Bloody amateurs!

expat, I like your logic,

I'll sacrifice the picture quality for a little more space,

I refer you to Winston's suggestion
