In all honesty I believe that the typical new user here should simply be told not to touch mains/high voltage stuff at all. I'd be curious if 1 in 100 users that every visit this forum will ever even touch something like that, outside of mains power, but mains isn't all that bad to work with I think the guidelines could be simplified a bit and modernized as CRT displays are VERY quickly becoming obsolete.
CRT's still have many advantages, apart from being more fixable they have superior dynamic range and response times. I still find them easier on the eye than LCD...
Flat screen CRT....with perfect convergence, EW correction and stunning picture quality....and as heavy as hell.
Hi Nigel
I am not kidding you. LG/Phillips for example are still putting stuff on the Market here. Also Flat Screen CRT. And they too look good.
What do you mean by 'flat screen' CRT?.
I don't know where you're getting those ideas from - ALL the large CRT's had poor convergence, poor EW, poor geometry, poor purity etc.
Thomson did do an HD CRT set - and that was REALLY crap.
We deliver hundreds of new LCD TV's to customers, and almost always it's a far better picture than their perfectly working top brand CRT set - which are then taken away and scrapped.
If you care to come to the UK and fetch them, we're binning probably ten Sony's or Panasonic's a week
What do you mean by 'flat screen' CRT?.
I believe he's referring to a CRT with a flat screen.
The picture was a hundred times better, I get more channels, and I prefer the widescreen format.
Flat screen CRT's don't meet any of the claims he made
Which was why I asked.
Europe went widescreen many years ago, long before Plasma/LCD sets ever appeared - it was only the USA that stuck with the old 4:3 format. I suppose it might have been because the lower resolution NTSC format wasn't really capable of widescreen?.
