Plus I would have had to make a more elaborate mounting system to hold that heavy CRT in just the right position. Not to mention having to use a VGA-tuner box, and a separate amplifier to run the speaker. The LCD just seemed easier to mod, easier to use, and more electrically efficient.

Thanks everybody for your kind words. My wife sat on the floor in front of it for hours last night watching old shows. Her family even came over to see it. It's turning out to be a big hit
