Good CRTs are better than TFT/LCDs, John. My new TV's a good CRT -- they're really cheap now -- an LCD or Plasma TV that was as good would cost a small fortune. My computer monitor's a decidedly poor CRT (teamed with a cheap integrated video chip) but despite the convenience of a light flat one, I'd love a really good CRT replacement. (I probably won't be able to get one.) My eyes have degenerated with age, I could do with a larger monitor, certainly. But the TFT I borrowed for a while was really bad for me -- I know the lower refresh rate isn't supposed to make a difference, it did to me.
