When you are ready to buy, take a long look at the glass tube flat screen
HD TVs before you pay extra for one of the thin screens. It is still true
that the glass tube TVs produce better pictures, and without your being
able to see pixels. And, of course, the viewing angle with a glass tube
TV is still wider than that of an LCD or plasma (overpriced) screen.


Ahem ... (cough) ... aaahhh....

I agree with your statement somewhat .... assuming you are talking about a
true CRT type monitor, of which only a few are still made for HD. All of
the non-plasma, non-LCD HD monitors I looked at were rear projection
types - looks like a big ol' picture tube, but isn't. These monitors
suffer from a significant view angle limitation.

Plasma does not. You can still view it at extreme angles.

Many of the new monitors - Plasma, LCD and rear projection are using a
glossy glass panel on the front as opposed to the low reflectance panels
used in the past. Even my new HP laptop has a LCD 17" Widescreen display
that looks glassy.

I am not sure about the future of CRT based HD television.

And a Plasma TV, while SWMBO loves it as it does not dominate the room, uses
4 times the power of a normal TV. Big power hog.
