I thought they didn't make CRT's anymore either. I'm not really into video but I used to have a Sony XBR Squared, or (2). I don't know how it compares to Wega's, or any other CRT, but I thought the picture was great and so did all my friends who are really into video. If you can find a good used one cheap, you may want to consider it. Depending on how strong you are, you will need to bring 1-2 people with you just to move it. I have no idea what they put inside those things but it makes other 32 in TV's feel like paperweights.
