Will CRTs ever get bigger?

Hey guys,

I have noticed that CRTs seem to be the best technology for video
games and I really want a big TV for my video games, but I also want a
good picture for them. The biggest CRTs I've seen are about 36" and
that just doesn't satisfy me. Has anyone heard of any future CRTs
that will be bigger? Or has anyone heard anything about CRTs even
being made bigger? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Trey

Come on, you know they are on their way out. The LCD is the best for
videogames. It is very clean and clear.

good picture for them. The biggest CRTs I've seen are about 36" and

Sony and Mitsubish made 40" 4:3 HDTV CRT sets for a while. I can't comment
on the Mitsubishi, but the Sony model was known to develop color splotches
in the corners. If you do a search, you'll find a lot of discussion about
this problem.

The general consensus seems to be that a 40" tube was just more than CRT
technology could handle.

Toshiba and Canon have been working on a new tech, SED, that takes the best
aspects of CRT and LCD and combines them.

If this tech ever makes it to market, it'll probably be the closest thing
to what you're looking for.

Thanks a bunch man, that really helps a lot. Now I am gonna just save
up getting ready for this technology to come out.

34" CRTs weigh in at over 200 lbs. One can easily do the math guesstimates for
a 40+"

The CRT is on a long death spiral after a long successful life.

When SED's become commercial in next year or so, CRT's will loose their last
niche - high dynamic range and will disappear even more rapidly.

There are also mechanical/physical challenges in making CRT's larger, so
you may want to start saving for a crane and for reinforcements for your
floor. The glass in larger CRT's becomes heavier and heavier as the CRT
grows. To maintain the shape of the CRTube and provide adequate
strength the glass also grows thicker. That also means that any stand
for the TV must also be stronger (and more expensive). So the
challenges are not just the technology for keeping the beams strong
enough and safe enough, and maintaining convergence, they are also the
challenges of materials and construction.

Get a digital front projector. The picture quality is incredible on these
new projectors zoomed *down* to about 60" diagonal size. And it weighs 2-40
lbs, so you can easily take it to other locations.

You will need to control external light, though.

You may find this interesting. It's what the 'big boys' are beginning
to use.

Unlikely due to physical limitations of the technology.

You could always get a CRT based front or rear projector. They've really
come down in price since everyone is focusing on newwer technologies.
