I just don't get it, I guess.

Except for the very minor inconvenience of having to deal wtih SCART inputs when most of my other gear doesn't use SCART connectors, I couldn't be happier with it! It even looks almost "flat", at least from the front. For only twenty times the price, I could have bought a really flat one, that would last maybe a whole 5-7 years. Hope I didn't goof!

It probably uses a Philips "super flat" CRT. They don't suffer from the geometery and focus problems of the newer completely flat tubes.

Those SCART inputs will probably accept an RGB signal (not component). If any of your gear has an RGB output (most games consoles, some DVD players, some set top boxes) you'll get a much better picture (no more dot crawl or color bleeding) than using composite or S-video.
