It sounds like your idea of excellent picture and sound is far worse than average. I wouldn't consider any CTR's picture quality excellent. I'm sure that would be the majority opinion here at Engadget HD. I would have to question whether you have actually every seen HD video with remarks like that.

Then you're an idiot. CRT's are _THE_ gold standard in such things as:

1) Color reproduction. It's no secret most TV shows, graphics artists, etc use CRT's for proofing as they have the best color reproduction. LCD and Plasma are getting close, but not there yet.

2) Resolutions. Unlike Plasma/LCD CRT's support lots of resolutions natively.

3) Lifecycle. CRT's don't easily burn in or suffer image retention issues like plasmas. They don't dim like LCD's. They don't have dead pixels.

The only downside of CRT's is that they are huge and heavy.

Now I'm not a CRT fanboi - I love my LCD's and Plasma TV on the wall. But CRT's pictures can look every bit as good and in many cases better than a Plasma/LCD.
