Page 1 of Hi-Def CRT

Are there any Hi-Definition CRT`s available in the UK? I`ve heard about the latest Samsung Slimfit units but no-one has seen one or has concrete specs.

How do Hi-Def CRT`s compare to LCD? I`m not worried about size and don`t like LCD pictures when watching Sky.

Cheers.

i don`t think there is such a thing as hi df crt tv as i heard they`r doing away with crt
completly gone th way of the dinosour something to do with the amount of power they use compared with lcd and other flat screen tvs

Hi-Def CRT`s are widely available in the USA but European consumers just haven`t been given the choice. I think current LCD technology is overrated and would consider the slimmer CRT`s if only there were some information available. Apart from the Samsung, Phillips apparently do one over here also.

The Samsung slim-TV is definitely HD Ready. I saw one in a curries, and it was marked HD-Ready. Here are two links from a shop I was considering buying it from...

Timechaser, The sets you have linked say they are not HD ready. I would do some checking just to make sure.

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Their own page doesn`t make it much clearer either. :/ but it does say "PAL : 1080i(HD) / 576P(SD)/ 480P(SD)/ 576i(Analog)/ 480i(Analog)"

On another note, 42%er (real one..), what`s the point of an HDMI connection on the forthcoming batch of DVD Recorders etc.? Just marketing bull? Given they`re SD.
