After all this: CRT HD Television it 'tis....


Well I've done my reserach, and it turns out that I'm going to go with the CRT HD TV. Still, to me, has the best 30 or 32" picture compared to Lcd. Also, I saw no 42" plasma picture better than a CRT HD TV. Am I crazy, or is this really the deal? Can anyone turn me onto the VERY best picture quality of 30 or 32" HDTV. Price related to picture not a factor. Just the finest quality picture. I await thee.. thanks in advance. peace, warren

I got to get this baby up the stairs (well the deliver guys do) and it's a very narrow stairwell/doorway, 34" tops, better 30/32 is the way to go. I'm very interested in the Loewe Aconda. Anybody on this other than swampwalker?
Warrenh, I got the 34" Widescreen Sony XBR and it's sweet. It's my 3rd XBR. I considered several plasmas (Fujitsu, Pioneer Elite) and LCD's (Samsung). The Sony picture is awesome. I bought it from ABT electronics (authorized Sony dealer). Delivered and setup in my house with no problems whatsoever.
I've owned the Wega XBR 400 for a couple of years now. Great picture, not a hint of trouble. Great set!

Got my eye on that Panasonic 42" ED panel though, w/ 4000 to 1 contrast ratio.....
I've been considering replacing my old 24" Wega with a 16:9 set and came to the same conclusion. The new technologies just don't look as natural when it comes to black levels and fast motion. The sales guy who asked me what I was looking for in our neighborhood box store was dumbfounded when I told him this. I guess most folks he meets are sold on plasmas, DLPs and LCDs. The weight of a CRT sure is a pain in the ass, though...
I agree with Swampwalker that the Loewes are the Porches of TVs. The Perfect Vision had a review also online . In NYC there are Harvey and Sound By Singer stores.
I've seen them in Sound Advice in Orlando, very nice but out of my league.
Good luck in your pursuit of perfection.
