>This mystifies me. I think I know the answer. It seems CRTs are better for non-HD TV (the UK's only just into HD, it went for digital terrestrial first), LCDs for HD.

My old CRT (which was only a couple years old -- and not entirely an el cheapo) didn't give me nearly the picture quality that this LCD does. And this LCD was a lower-end price -- it's a HP, and I got it for a song because someone had purchased it, taken it home, purchased a new computer which came with a monitor, and returned this monitor. It was used for maybe a week, but lacked a box .... so good discount.

My TV cost I suppose one fifth what even a mediocre LCD TV would have cost. http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/big_picture_crt.htm
