sonny is pretty much on point…

it is true that the one shaler pnk posted has a GREAT picture.  
CRTs usually do…but to get a big one…30+ inches…it a beast to move & carry…samsun makes a slim crt, i think hanibal has one haven’t seen it myself but seems interesting.

if your spending the money get 1080p

def. try to get one with dual HDMI or dual DVI or one of each.

& PLEASE be aware of size…i said this over & over. if your buying from a big store like bestbuy/circuit city…the TVs look smaller then they are cause the stores are so big. when you get it home it s a different story.  
nothing looks worse then a TV thats way to big for a room

going to a highend audiofile store or the sony outlet gives a better perspective cause they are normal size stores.
