I'm not too proud to say that we are the proud owners of one of those
expensive 100 pounder CRTs that somebody replaced with a $2000 HDTV.
Works perfectly for us and it didn't cost us a dime. However, we did
spend $10 for the stand from somebody else. Oh, and a chiropractor
adjustment.
The reality is that by the time you get back into a normal viewing
distance, you can't really tell the difference in resolution and
sharpness anyway.
What most people don't understand is that the hyper clean image
quality that we see with HDTV images from cable tv or satellite is
actually a result of having the video compression cranked up so high
that all the detail is erased.
