CRT Televisions vs. HDTV: high definition better from distance
March 14, 2008 | Filed under Electronics, High Definition

CRT televisions might be the past and old technology, but when standing very close to a CRT and HDTV, the CRT wins hands down. Now does this mean they have much better picture quality?
Although CRT’s look great close up, compare them to a high definition TV from a distance with a HD broadcast, the HDTV wins hands down. How many of us sit close to TV’s, not many I am sure and if you do not have a HD broadcast like Sky HD or Blu-ray with your HDTV then you have not seen how fantastic the picture can be.

Actually, I have a CRT that is HDTV. its 29″ does 480i, 480p, 1080i and 720p. After using this TV for a couple years I can’t even stand to look at a flat panel. The flat panels look grainy, the blacks arent as black and the macroblocking is much more noticable. If my CRT HDTV even has issues, I would definately spend several hundred dollars to fix it rather than switch to an inferior LCD or Plasma.
