Last year we needed a new TV so bought a Panasonic 76cm, 16:9 ratio CRT. It was unmitigated crap.

This is pertinent, as I'm looking at that very range myself.

Very useful range indeed, only I prefer 4:3.

A good illustration for buying from a local vendor, if you possibly can. They will take good care of the customer service end of things.
You can't do that long distance.

We don't have local vendors very much in the UK. We have local shops of national chains. Customer service? But at least you can see before you buy. No, if I see and like, I won't buy from an online retailer to save some money.

Which brings me back to my point that big CRTs are problematic in the area
of picture stability, and you have to beware of this if you're buying one.
These are problems that LCD and plasma screens would not experience.

Yes, you're right there. The fact that most LCDs of that size are only about 4-5" deep, and weigh about 35-40 lb is another big selling factor.

How do they do for contrast and longevity though? And how about price?
