Widescreen CRT HDTV

Jun 22, 2005 12:54PM PDT

Does anyone have any recommendations regarding purchasing a new standard CRT HDTV? I'm looking to purchase a 30" or 34" widescreen version. I'd like get an LCD, but I'm still in school and need to be a bit more budget conscious. I've looked over a few reviews here but they are old. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

I was looking at the Sony models. Both of those that you mentioned actually. I was also looking at the Samsung, as well as a Philips. Would you definitely recommend the Sony over both of these? The samsung is comparably priced, while the philips is a bit less. I've had a difficult time comparing them in the store. Thanks for the info.

yes I would def say that the sony is better. Though I have not got a chance to see the new slimfit 30" from samsung I don't think it will be quite as good as the sony's
