Eeeee, I've caused a right debate haven't I?

I'd call it a mass debate :-)

I suppose you thought you'd just toss that in?

2 years ago I note.
I'm sure others will put us right on this one as to why not in the shops in
UK.
Is it because Freeview not in ?
I recall something about Samsung tubes being capable of HD but other parts
not.

Cool. Can you point me to a 42" diagonal CRT
with geometry (linearity etc) as good as a LCD or Plasma?

There are no perfect TVs (yet?)

No but I can point you to a 32" flat screen CRT with near perfect
geometry with far superior contrast, picture quality and natural
movement compared to any LCD or Plasma i've seen using SD input.

Your careful qualification is noted ;-)

:)

Since I can't see myself moving to HD for a while yet, I want
something that does the best possible with SD until it dies (and being
a 8 year old Philips screen, could be any moment now)

I used News 24 studio shots as an initial source and then 'tweaked' on a

How did you decide when the picture was correct with Bleak House? It
looked too horrible to watch on my properly set-up crt.

Ah-ha! That might be because the Beeb now know that we mostly all watch
allegedly inferior plasma and LCD telly's so they have optimised the picture
to suit. Perhaps clinging to the trusty CRT may not be the best idea after
all? It begs the question "why do the broadcasters use V.expensive CRT
monitors to judge the quality of their output?" when no-one actually watches
the output on such sets and increasingly few of us watch it on CRT at all.
Put sh1tty LCDs into the control rooms, I say, and get the buggers to adjust
the output for best results on the worst domestic
equipment.....................;-)

That's the best suggestion I've seen for a long time. Thank goodness I still

Yup. And listening to music.

From CD, vinyl, or mp3 ? :-)

You missed out cassette, reel to reel, 8-Track, Minidisc, DCC, DAT and
Elcaset, SACD & DVD-Audio.

Thanks for this advice Bill. I bought a 42" Wharfedale LCD tv from Argos and
wasn't impressed at all with the standard of picture. Up until now i didn't
want to adjust the settings in case i made a mess of things. Originally the
whole picture just looked white and washed out but using your advice its
made it a lot lot better, sharper and more colourful. Thanks again.
