Once all this was done it gives ok blacks, nice colours and give a much nicer pic then all the small lcd tvs I have seen. Also good luck getting an lcd bigger then 17" that isnt a widescreen.
I have a 21" Sony Trinitron Vega which I bought about 2.5 years ago. I've always been a bit disappointed with the picture quality, but it doesn't get a lot of use so it's sufficient for my purposes.
Having said that, I do have limited space, so I will probably look at replacing it with a 21" LCD model once the prices drop another $200 or so.

I don't know whether having a widescreen is such a bad option now. There is now plenty of WS material available and both TVNZ and TV3 have said they will be transmitting more stuff in native WS over the next year once FreeView launches.
paradoxsm: My TV is a 1984 Philips 21" CRT Teletext (also released as PYE)
Supplied in a lovely fake veneer cabinet, Perfect picture quality in any reception which is a real problem almost anywhere in auckland, the cheap TV just go's this grainy fuzzyness. Awesome punchy bassy sound (delivered by a 8 dual-cone driver) and it does not need a stand due to being a floor standing model.... Servicing it is a matter of pluggin in cards, very innovative philips. I hardly watch TV so this is perfect.
