I was once told that switching to 16x9 made CRTs very difficult to produce. I work at a TV station and they brought a guy from Panasonic out to show us the "new" stuff 6 or 8 years ago. He said at that time that the CRTs looked better, but most of them didn't work. The failure rate at the factory was something like 60%. Anyhow, that's what this guy said. I'm sure the story has changed since then, but that's what got them looking at other technology. Then when folks saw the flat TVs, the marketing guys took over.
Take care,
Ed
