Re: If you're our shopping for LCD, DLP, Plasma...

While it's true that CRT sets offer some of the best picture quality also consider the fact that it's easier to get subjectively better quality from a smaller screen (like the typical 34" CRT screen). I have a 34" Sony XBR 16:9 CRT set and it's outstanding but it's bulky and weighs over 200 pounds!

If you need anything larger than about 34", you have no choice but to consider something other than a CRT. The 37" LCD direct view screens are only marginally larger than a 34" CRT but considerably more expensive and not worth the cost for such a small incremental gain in screen size.

If you need anything larger than 34" the next step up should be 42" or larger, IMHO.

I have a 'budget' 42" EDTV plasma screen that I actually enjoy a lot more than my 'high-end' 34" HDTV Sony CRT. Sometimes bigger is better, overall. Just some thoughts to consider. Good luck.
