Is This The Time To Buy A New TV?...

Now might be the time to buy CRT, if that is what you want. It seems like it is a mature technology, capable of provinding state of the art picture. My understanding is that the manufacturers aren't putting a whole lot of investment into CRT any more. OTOH, I have read that there are enw plasma panel panel manufacturing technologies in the works that will make Plasma tvs incredibly cheap in the next few years, so I'm holding off. Suposedly a nanotech soup that when poured on a sheet of glass, assembles itself into a plasma screen. Far out stuff, but I'm waiting.

If you can deal with the size, the CRTs are a bargain, especially if you're looking for a big screen.
CRT is a mature technology as Honest! states. LCD, DLP and Plasmas still have some quirks to figure out and I really dont want to spend big bucks to be the beta tester.
I recently purchased a 57 inch Sony CRt set and I thrilled with the picture on DVDs. With regular (non-HD) Im somewhat dissapointed but I expected that. It seems cable (not sure of satellite) has not keeped up what the new standards of resolution of the DLPs, plasmas , LCDs and CRTs have to offer. The picture quality varies from poor to very good.
If you like movies (DVD), jump on in. The waters fine

i just bought a nice tube tv 27" for 200 dollars, im going to wait a few years for a plasma as im pretty sure the prices will be better,,,besides i spend so much on my 2 ch system i couldnt afford any more!!!
