My beloved fat 55kg Toshiba 32" wide screen CRT is dying.
So I thought now is the time to subscribe to the flat theory, no problem got to have a TV so lets start shopping.
Now my only previous experiences of flat TV's was once in hotel in London and at my friends house. Both had rubbish pictures, the hotel one I put down to the fact that it was a 50" monster in a small room. I could only get 2 metres away from it!!! The one at my mates house I thought was bad because it was a Daewoo. Anyway I was totally unimpressed until he turned on the Sky HD. Wow now I was impressed.
So in my quest for a new TV I consulted lots of internet articles and this forum and to be honest I have the impression that unless you have Sky HD (or similar), Blue ray or an upscaling bit of kit then one of these flat thinngies is not going to perform as good as a CRT.
So do I spend £800 ish on a flat thing or pay possibly £100 on a repair and keep the fat thing.
Please discuss.
