Re: Time for the CRT to go in the Bin!
 

For my PC monitor I am sticking with my iilyama Vision Master Pro 514. No LCD can match its specs for gaming. But I don't want to get a TV tuner as it sits to high up for watching TV.

I am going to look at a CRT replacement for my TV but their seems virtualy nothing availble.

When my illyama conks out unless LCD has improved I would want another one of them for gaming. Will I be able to get one, I doubt it. LCD seems to be the equilvalent of Vista in the TV world. The must have new technology that is not as good as the old technology!

Vista isn't exactly bad once you've stripped away all the crapyou don't use you know :)

Putting one of the nails in the lengthy coffin is Pioneer Corp, who is stopping ALL production of plasma display panels. Last week we reported that they had decided to stop all 42-inch panel production, however that has now been expanded to its entire plasma line.
Plasma TV is dead.

So the best to get is a lcd then?

Some LCDs are good, although I'd recommend going to see a few if possible.

Samsung :tu:


I've always seen Samsung as excellent on the TV / Monitor side of technology.
I would seriosuly consider one of those new CRT's.

Re: Time for the CRT to go in the Bin!
 

Those CRT look great but anthing over 22/23" (width 650mm) would be to big. Any good CRT's in that range?

Ok still looking into this. Here is my cable box:

A Jerrold Impulse ICFT2026/210/V5

This only has three outgoing sockets: A coaxial that I am using atm. Also a white (audio) and red (video) conection. Not sure what these are, they look like sound card phone jacks.

The two TV’s I am looking at do not seem to have coaxial connections, so not sure I can use my cable box:

As I only get a analogue signal is it worth talking to Virgin about upgrading my cable box just to get a better connection to my new TV?

Re: Time for the CRT to go in the Bin!
 

its composite video can be fed through a scart adapter

Re: Time for the CRT to go in the Bin!
 

As the analogue feeds are likely to be turned off, soon, I'd suggest you need to talk to Virgin to see if upgrading to digital is possible in your area, before lashing out on a new telly :)

Re: Time for the CRT to go in the Bin!
 

aye id do that aswell like if i were you ;)

Re: Time for the CRT to go in the Bin!
 

Yellow is usually video, are you sure the red/white are not just stereo audio?

Anything with an Analog tuner (which everything still seems to have) can use the old coax/tuner interconnect. Some sets have seperate analog & DVB-T inputs, as if you have an acceptable DVB-T signal, then the only thing you need analog for is interconnecting when nothing better is possible.
