Usually this will mean setting all three a long way below the manufacturer's

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.

Where? I'm interested in buying a CRT but I can't find them!!

The trouble there would be getting the forklift into the room to move it :-)

And the 32 inch CRTs use less power - 100W.

There are lots on Ebay. You'd probably have to choose one near where
you live and collect it yourself, but you may be able to get something
very good for a very low price. It seems to be a buyers' market.

I have a couple of CRT computer monitors that I'd be happy to *give*
away, but have so far found it impossible to do so. That gives an idea
of the current popularity of CRTs.

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)

My Philips is 9 years old now and shows no signs of imminent death. It
has some convergence and geometry issues, and the picture is a little
soft, but that's nice as compression artefacts don't show up.

I've got a Sony I bought second hand 8 years ago, still looks OK to me.

Don't over use the sharpness control. Less is better in this respect.

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