If you do a calibration, I think wou will find that CRT does indeed kick ass. It is, IMHO, the best display possible. It may not do 1080P ( at least, not the RPTVs, ) but it at 1080I, and it's better black levels, and colors...beat out the digital tech out there. It's major issue is, it takes a LONG time to make it look that good, and requires consistant maintenence. It reminds me of a supercar, or superbike...
I am hoping to build a house that has a big enough theater room so I can do a 9" CRT stack.
Ahh, dreams
