i have a panny crt and will stick with crt for as long as possible, or until flat panels and hd become so attractive itd be churlish not to change.
however, im not overly impressed by the expense i have to go to to get a hd picture when im not much bothered by home cinema and ive a very limited budget. and i just cant get on board with those who say decent flat panels show SD well. just not true imo. i even saw that panny plasma everyone was raving about (even i was very keen) recently, showing SD, and was unimpressed. bad setup? oh, i can well believe that, its just that it was true to form of most flat panels ive seen with SD, tho i do prefer plasmas over lcds (make plasmas smaller please folks!).
so lets hope my crt doesnt die until everyones watching hd.
