Hold On to the Old 'cause it's in with the New...

[frenchy]

My girlfriend wants to put a bigger tv in her entertainment center, I said hey, let's start looking for a larger CRT set that will fit in that space. Now is definitely the time to get a good deal on a crt wouldn't you say, what with flat screen lcds and plasmas being all the rage this season? The poor lil' old CRT is the unwanted toy this year -sniff-

Wondering if picture tube sets will still be manufactured for quite a few more years for poorer countries like China, India, Russia, etc.? These lcds and plasmas are fine as far as thin sets go, but you can't beat crts of equal size for the price with a stick, and their picture is STILL the best. And crts have always been thought of electricity hogs but plasmas use even more, with the price of oil the world can't afford to be repopulated with plasmas, that's for sure.
