Disagreed. I had a CRT HD set and it was garbage compared to anything out there right now. Yeah it had great image quality compared to the LCDs it was competing with at the time, but newer LCDs have so many more features and a much better contrast ratio. Also CRTs were prone to overscanning, and they only supported 1080i. Yuck.

Don't CRT's have an "infinite" contrast ratio, since they display true blacks?

LCD's are a heck of a lot brighter, though.
