Greetings been getting lots of info regarding CRT tv from this thread eventhough it has been inactive for more than a year.
My dad is planning to get a TV and we are still fancy of CRT in terms of the image quality (mainly use for terrestrial TV, DVD). We have been looking at Phillips 29PT7321, 29PT8845, Panasonic TX-29F350MK & Sony KV-DZ29M61. All these TV are 100Hz scan. Wonder if any sifus out there can give comments and reviews of these TVs... thanks

I guees most of the people out there are eyeing either LCD TV or plasma since it is within their reach.

The tv is for my parents to watch terrestrial TV, so no point for us to buy the LCD TV at the moment. Thanks for your point happy new year

for me no point getting new crt now.

correct. there's no point getting a CRT. with LCD, u can adjust your aspect ratio to 4:3 which might fit the terrestrial TV.

If you are interested in 16:9 HD CRT TV, check out Samsung's offereing. They are manufactured using Slim Fit technology, which results in a thinner CRT TV.

2 models are available: http://www.samsung.com/my/products/televis....asp?viewPage=2

actually (no hard feeling for those who owned it) I found the PQ of slimfit rather poor. Better opt for conventional CRT TV

Hi guys, thanks for all the comments and opinions, appreciate it I've bought a Sony CRT which has 100Hz/progressive scan, and we are happy with it. I find that watching terrestrial TV or astro from LCD TV has a lot of pixelation even after adjusted it to 4:3 ratio. Probably LCD/Plasma TV are too good for it now, will wait till terrestrial/astro upgrade to HD broadcasting

Did anyone got a CRT TV that supports HD? I saw Sony offers 4:3 CRT TV that supports HD. How does the output picture looks like? And how they claim to support HD when HD is in 16:9?

Go for LCD,CRT outdated already.

First of all CRT's will not go out of production , LCD TV's is not within the reach of all people in market , most of the people in malaysia buy those expensive LCD's on an installment plan and get stuck with a payment for a looong time. CRT's are still affordable for the average person. !

with today's high def technology and sleek design, and owning few LCD TVs, i've come to realise all i want is a small red sanyo TV from the 80's to match my vintage vinyl player.








You know u want it

haha

then find a vintage old looking LCD TV

lol

i will kumanosuke, when i buy own apartment, God willing

No need just find one old nice looking TV, take out the crt tube and fix your lcd or plasma on it...lah...
Retro look with HD display...

Actually this is quite a good anti-theft idea.
U shud patent this.

consider the tube amp analogy:

some day later, probably in 5 to 10 years, when tube tv is generally off the production line, there will be a persistent gropu of 'videophiles' who argue that the ultimate video experience is watching laser discs or dvds with a 32" tube tv. then there will be a market for vintage sony trintron tube tvs and 4:3 format lds and dvds. pretty much the same way vinyl on tube amp is considered the nirvana of audiophile, for the reason that the colour is smoother, more dynamic, vibrant etc etc..

then there will be a small group of small scale enterprising people who would make "high end tube tvs" at a premium, and there will also be people making money off trading used 4:3 format discs on ebay, because there's a niche market out there

not anymore, and it is just 3 years

and talking about TV, 1970 got CRT (for commercial)
in 1995 got LCD (for commercial)
in 2020 got hologram?
