CRTs produce the most accurate colors, and handle varying resolutions much better tan the stretching and pulling of todays LCDs.
So I got my 27 inch now in the same room as my 32HD both Wegas

Downside is while the picture quality looks decent on the 27 inch, it's nowhere near as good as the 32HD because of scan lines. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I haven't used a SD CRT in about 8 years, but should the scanlines really be this prominent?

Oh and I almost dropped it trying to carry it in the house even though another guy was helping me. I take meds for my migraines and one of the side effects is muscle weakness so I'm still learning my limits. I felt totally fine carrying the tv one minute, but when I tried to step up to go inside I collapsed but managed to hold the TV from hitting the floor.

The nice gentleman who delivered the TV to my house also carried it up the stairs for me when I was unable so I tipped him an extra $15 over what we agreed. Currently I only own more modern systems such as the gamecube and when I tested the gamecube, while the image quality wasn't bad, once again I noticed very prominent scanlines. Is this normal behaviour? It looks better on my hd even upscaled as a result because on the 32HD Wega you can't even see the scanlines.
