    I've never heard of any sort of incompatibility with CRTs.

    I got a 20" Philips 20PT6341/37 at Goodwill last week. It's got all the inputs I need (RF, composite, S-video and component), and it was only $15. Now I need to find a remote for it and I'm all set.

    I REALLY want to pick up another CRT. The one I have is pretty "nice", with component in, very clear picture...but it's 4:3 and 480i. I'd like to pick up a 16:9 progressive scan model, perhaps a 32 or something.

    It's a distinct possibility. (Is it just me, or is that picture squished laterally?)

    I shouldn't talk though, half my CRTs are monitors that came with crappy mid-90s Apples (not even iMacs).

    Yeah there seems to be some aspect ratio tomfoolery going on.

    I picked up a nice Sony Trinitron last weekend (KV-32HS510), but what I really wanted was the KV-40XBR800. It's the largest and highest quality Sony Trinitron 4:3 television ever. I'm just waiting until one pops up nearby that has the stand.
