Your choice is really limited by budget. To get into a CRT of significant quality above a good LCD you are going to be spending 10K at a minimum. I bought a Sony 8" CRT from a company in Chicago called United Technologies and I highly recommend them for competitive price (my unit lists at 19K and I got it for 12K). A 7 or 8" CRT needs a doubler (perhaps a tripler) and you can save a lot by buying the DVDO doubler that has been getting good reviews (I went with the Faroudja 2200 but it is more expensive). A good screen will run you about 1500 depending on size (don't skimp on quality)for a simple one. Another possibility is the DLP someone suggested (Projectavision has a 2 chip model for 8K that I've had and it is quite good but doesn't have the newer, higher pixel count mirrors). Having had lcd, dlp and crt, I would have to say that there isn't any beating a crt properly set up and installed (and my experience with Sony wasn't nearly as harrowing as one person reported for a Barco).

good luck.
