friend, LCD and plasma is equal to CRT, dont listen to others, see it to believe it, those bad quality u see in electrical shop is due to they split to a few TV, thus get bad quality picture.

LCD or plasma have a few viewing mode, not only in widescreen!

Wrong mate, they are not equal at all. They are many difference, black level, sharpness, etc. Its all due to the way crt and flat screen works and source (astro) itself.

Yeah...u always get better result for Astro on a CRT.

Unless Astro is using HD signal anytime soon the result is only acceptable on LCD and plasma. If u only wanna watch astro..don't bother getting those.

The various viewing modes normally mean that 4:3 pictures are displayed with black borders at the side? That means if you watch Astro all the time, you will risk burned in sidebars.
As such I prefer to tolerate slightly oval circles and stubby characters. Truth is, i keep a cheapo crtv at home just for the missus and her aod.

LCDs don't suffer from burn-ins. Here's what I collected from the web:

I'm sorry to bring this thread up again, but I think, much has changed since Astro come up with the HD channels.

So again, like the thread said, Which one is better now?

LCD

Hurm.. Care to break it down? Have you experienced watching astro with both types of TV?
