CRT is the way to go, it provides a far superior picture. SED is a
flat CRT technology. There are now other displays being used on
camcorders and laptops that use a new generation of LED. So watch
out for those too.

News to me and assuming correct, good news at that! Thanks bronco.

No , bronco keeps posting the same misinformed tat over and over again

Ok, thanks!

Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply.

I'd rather they used a large portion of the available bandwidth to
increase the bit rates of the existing freeview channels.




Agreed.

When LCD is out of the way and SED and others are at the right price
we might be able to move on. LCD is crap with the smearing effects
caused by slow refresh rates. Companies stopped making LCD TVs last
year anyway, all you're buying now is the stockpiled surplus.

No, they didn't. You are spouting utter nonsense. LCD technology continues
to improve, and has massive ongoing investment behind it. Your idea that
this is just some anti-consumer conspiracy is ridiculous.

CRT is the way to go, it provides a far superior picture.

No, it doesn't. It has plenty of flaws of its own.

Well until something changes the piccy on my now 10 year old CRT B&O
still knocks spots anything I've seen in Curry's, Vomit or Dixons and
its still using Analogue PAL)

My friends in San Francisco have a 4 year old Sony CRT HDTV. Pictures I've
seen on that knock more than spots off *anything* I've seen in this
country.

Well I expect it would. We're long overdue for an *improvement* in
picture quality and programs for that matter...

I'd second that. I saw HD for the first time in Argos last week; ten
expensive tvs showing a demonstration disc of houses in Italy
apparently. Quite jerky with /lots/ of compression artifacts, really
looked very disappointing - especially for a demo. The extra resolution
seemed to be ,just gobbled up with ringing. Too much colour too.

Best not to gobble your ring

Seriously, agreed on using the available bandwidth for better bitrates on
existing channels. And get rid of the waste of space that are the quiz
channels on there.

Agreed!

I think the producers and directors need to be persuaded to abandon film
effect and shakycam too!!
