And yes, I have not yet seen anything that looks as good as CRT. It might be an old technology, heavy, and takes up tons of space, but produces the best picture of all the alternate display technologies today. And forget what sellers on ebay say, they are full of crap.

I was at a friend-of-friend house yesterday. The guy had a Sony widescreen set (Less than I year old I think, I was there exactly one year ago, and he had a CRT). I didn't see "WEGA" on the set anywhere, so I think it was a LCD.
OH MY GOD!! WHAT A GARBAGE PICTURE!! The colors were horrible, lots of red bleeding, other colors were weak. Sharpness was non-existant... It looked like I was watching a low-res MPEG. Add to that, he had a dish... Pixelation up the wazoo, and all kinds of frame delays. Sometimes, I felt like I was watching a mechanical TV, the 1/4" sized scan lines were so obvious!
The worst part came when one of the other goobers at the party walked in and said "Wow, that TV sure has a nice picture!"
This same guy stuffed a garbage disposal full of chicken bones at last years party, so you can imagine how sharp he is!
Meanwhile, my '77 Zenith Chromacolor daily watcher has such a sharp, realistic picture with such balanced colors and true blacks, that it looks like you could reach into it.. This is with the OTA signal. To think it's being made obsolete by junk such as above, is to be sick!
