THERE was at the height of TV industry probaly a couple of hundred CRT rebuilding businesses worldwide?

Like I said obsolete like the hula hoop.............................................. .....

I'll take a hula hoop over a flat panel.

Grab a Last Generation CRT TV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What all of you should be looking for is a last generationT TV for cheap--- I picked up a fine pitch Sony HD CRT TV today for $35. Has 8 to 10 inputs!! has all new and old standards for connections.

You can watch HD or pick low def channels if stuck on that time warp thing. Low def channels look great except blurred looking since old standard w/ less definition. The contrast level on this thing is AMAZING, 40 inches of viewing greatness makes for free, easy viewing on the eyes.

You're loosing all that fine picture information when watching low def, PICK a channel that broadcasts low and HD at, the same time w/ same program--you'll see differences more when flipping back and forth between the two.

Black levels of a plasma, TONS of input for all your media. I just put a Muppets show on and one character appears floating in air since image so sharp and clear. Life like and a 3D quality. You can watch HD and watch retro shows in NTSC. The best bargain in TV................

I might take one for free, not enough interest to buy. I would rather watch my retro shows on a retro TV. I want something that looks good to me when it's off as well. Those HD CRT TVs do beat the crap out of a flat-panel though.
