i have a 30" crt based 1080i sanyo that i bought 3 years ago at wally mart for $700. for hdtv (thru cable hd dvr) it is as good a picture as a lot of the expensive dlp, lcd etc. it is large and heavy, can't hang it on the wall but for the value i am pleased. also, wider viewing angle. i do play the audio thru a 5.1 home theater setup.
Do you own an HDTV?
-- Yes (What type and model?)
-- No (What's preventing you from getting one?)
-- No, and I have no plans to get one. (Why not?)
--Not yet, but I am considering one. (Which type are you considering?)
