I still have the regular old CRT's - a Proscan and a Philips. I'm of the, if it works fine don't waste money on a replacement, school. I can always go over to someone else's house to watch fancy bigscreen, high def. digital TV. I'm getting miserly in my old age.

The monitor on my Imac that I'm using right now is larger than my television.

I gave my 10-year-old 27" CRT to my girlfriend when hers went out; I just sold my 5-year-old 32" CRT (2-man carry heavy bastard!).

I'll wait until I get to Turkey to buy a flatscreen-LCD-plasma-rear-projection-computer-monitor-wonder-wafer-time-waster at the BX.

Samsung DLP and Panasonic Plasma.

Much prefer the plasma.
After 3 years the DLP is showing display problems. Horizontal lines around the borders against light backdrop and really bright light colors (usually sky) show harsh pixelation. Didn't have them before and remains no matter the setting. Admittedly I have not called a tech. Granted the plasma is about a year old but the picture is more pleasing. Rich blacks and more eye popping color. Potentially less problems since there are no color wheels or bulbs to burn out. I will say though the DLP has a more smooth film like quality when watching movies compared to plasma.

I have a Panasonic plasma 720p 50 inch and a Samsung 1080p 52 inch LCD. The plasma TV is definitely better.

My Sanyo 32" CRT didn't survive the move to the Leftist Coast. Served me very well for over a decade. I bought a Samsung 37" HD/LCD 720i.

50" Panasonic 1080P plasma in my home theater. Once HDMI took over I needed something with multiple HDMI inputs to accommodate a HD-DVD player, PS3 for Bluray, and cable box.

I still have a 50" Pioneer Elite RPTV in my bedroom and a regular 50" Pioneer RPTV in my office. Since flat panels got popular no one wants to pay much for a RPTV so I might as well keep them and get some use out of them.

I have one of each kind. My most recent and main TV is a Plasma and I love it.

Not sure how to answer. My main TV is CRT, but it quit working this morning. Only 6 years old.

42" panasonic plasma 1080p..in the market for a new 32" for the bed room

I've been through alot of tv's.

When I lived at my parents, we had a 73" DLP Mitsubishi Diamond Tron, a 65" Rear Projection LCD Sony XBR, a 52" Vizio LCD, and a Sony LCD Projector on a 200" screen. All at the same time. Literally had 3 different TV rooms, not counting the TV's in bedrooms.

Now that I live alone, I've got a 42" Sony Plasma, a 37" Sharp Aquos LCD, and a 52" Samsung LCD. The Aquos LCD, even though older, has the best color. The Plasma is the brightest.

I had a 32" samsung HD-CRT, great for movies and the like, but terrible for games...the pixel dimensions are different at the edges of the screen (the nature of CRTs) and so the heads up display for video games would get all blurry along the outside edges of the screen. Gave it to my brother for spare-room duty.

None of the above...
What about the DLP guys and I am sure there are a lot of guys with rear projection big screens that were top of the line six to eight years ago.

That makes me sad.

We have a Samsung 50" plasma, only a month old. Love the picture quality. It does have a touch of glare (not noticeable during the sports programming I watch), but our CRT had that, too.

In the living room I have the 27" crt sylvania I got from sears about 8 years ago on closeout for $50 new. In the bedroom for my wife just have a small 19" lcd that she watches tv and doubles for a pc monitor.

I have toyed with the idea of getting a new flat screen but I am just cheap and think of what else I could buy. My wife is happy with her setup and in my office I have dual monitor setup with to nice lcds so I am happy.

I have 2 LCD's, but my primary is a 16:9 1080i 34" Sony XBR CRT reference standard monitor. As a CRT it employs older technology, but the contrast is superior to anything currently coming from a flat screen and it has a much more natural pixel decay rate for fast action. Flat screens are getting there. but the state of the art for professionals is still CRT.

HDTV technology isn't anywhere close to that point yet. At 1920 x 1080 resolution, that's only equivalent to a 2-megapixel camera. That's not even enough for printing 5 x 7 photos.

LCD Sony Bravia and love it. I'd buy another Sony LCD if buying again right now. We do have an old CRT or two that we still have hooked up.

You're one of the only other people I know that's had a Loewe. My first HDTV was a 32" Loewe. My current is a 62" JVC LCoS. I've never seen any HDTV picture anywhere as good as those old Loewe CRT HDTV's.

The Loewe's were state of the art CRT's. Having one says to the world "I take this shit seriously...and no, I didn't buy my TV at Best Buy."

Bit the bullet and finally went HD with a 50" Panny Plasma a couple months ago as I found a great deal. It is awesome!!
