In Reply to: Thanks,everyone--we've returned the LCD, bought a CRT, and now we're happy (nt) posted by bigi on September 11, 2005 at 11:43:35:
Analog (CRT) is still king. Don't believe all those people that say the new digital displays are better, 'cause they ain't. Same for audio -- well-implemented vinyl is still superior to well-implemented digital playback.It's all a bunch of marketing hoo-hah designed to transfer money from your wallet to theirs. It's known as "planned obsolescence" and it was discovered by the US automobile makers decades ago. You remember -- in 1959 you just had to have tailfins or you weren't cool. Then two years later tailfins were so 'fifties and you had to get a new car (again).
Follow Ups:
Yup--I certainly agree with your assessment, both with reference to CRT TVs and to vinyl (I usually hang out at the Vinyl Asylum).We didn't get the Sony XBR you recommended, just a plain vanilla Philips, but even my 15-year-old son, who was captivated by the LCD TV, admits the picture is way better on the CRT.
You gonna be at the Heathrow Hi-Fi Show at the end of the month? If so, let me know what room, and I'll make a point of stopping by and saying hello.
Cheers,Ivan

No, I won't be at the show. However our new International Sales Manager, Brent Hefley (formerly with Martin-Logan), will be there. He's a great guy and fun to chat with. He'll be in the Symmetry booth with Nigel Crump. Cheers!
