I've got three old 21" round color sets and love them to death but I'd have to be smoking something potent and illegal to agree that any of them even come close to a really nice bright 60" plasma set with 3000:1 contrast showing an HDTV program and at eye level on the wall instead of on the floor. Or even standard definition program for that matter. I'd even pick my 51" crt-based projection set over the roundies if it comes to what I would want to watch a couple of hours of tv on a night, sorry. (And at least it still has real picture tubes in it! : ) I mean it's just like my Victrola, I love that thing too and it's really cool playing my acoustic records on it all day but I'm not going to say it sounds better than my hi-fi with 5.1 sound. But I use the Victrola a ton more than my tvs since I don't have to worry about frying a flyback ; ) ..Frenchy
