perhaps this will help stop people wasting many more hundreds of £'s on a less capable lcd/plasma screen.

The geometry problems will get you in the end.....
Oh and by the way...The LCD was not a waste.
I too have a Sony 32in Widescreen (50 Hz) CRT, and the geometry on it is perfect.
100hz, HDTV, all for £350, sounds too good to be true in one respect. As I said, I will wait until I see a review of it before I consider buying it.
i have a 32" ws grundig
380 quid 5 yrs ago
yes cheap as chips but it does me fine and it still works
i dont see the point of spending a load for the sake of it and cos of the brand name
if the picture quality is HD and the reviews are favourable then i see no reason why not
if one fails then get another for less than how much the lcd will cost
The problem with CRT screens is that they can have "geometry" issues.... these are actually a whole host of problems wrapped up in a single name but basically mean that you do not get a perfectly shaped retangular screen... if you have a monitor it will have all sorts of settings to correct geometry issues like pinching (where the sides of the screen are slightly curved) or tilting (where the sides slant in) etc.
The issue with CRTs is that you have to use magnets to "bend" light to hit the right spot on the screen. The deeper the screen the less angle you have to bend the light and so the easier it is to do. The issue with these slim line TVs is they have to have much more powerful magnets to increase the "bend" which makes problems more likely. You will note that if you look at the depth of a 17" computer monitor against a 17" TV it is much deeper which is why they were able to achieve better picture/ resolutions. This is also a significant reason why CRTs only went to 36" because above this it "had" to be slim line for it to reasonably fit in a room and so had the inherent geometry problems.
If you are happy with your screen then thats all that matters
I think it's fair that I relay that experience. It at least makes people aware of what to look for..
Not all LCD's suffer from artifacts. Catch up, the latest generation LCD's are much better than the original offerings. So, you are spouting quite a lot of Tosh yourself.
I'm glad you are happy with your Panny. At the end of the day thats what it's all about Happiness.
It will be a good few years before they make an appearence.
if i plug sky HD in do i need this device too?
See this post.
is it worth forking out the extra money just to see england get knocked out again
the tv is worth the money and when sky hd price comes down so will that but until then....
your hd tv aint gonna do much
I did a brief web search but I couldn't find any detailed specs on this new model.
Samsung won't tell what the actual resolution is (we only know that it can do 1080 lines – interlaced).
PC monitors are progressive scan, so unless this HD CRT does 720p scan as well as 1080i, I doubt whether it would make good use as a monitor anyhow (hooked up at 1280 x 720 res @ 50 Hz via component).
Yes.
You're welcome.
is this the same or similar one? 32z30? Altho it has a different ending to the model number
It states PAL : 1080i(HD) / 576P(SD)/ 480P(SD)/ 576i(Analog)/ 480i(Analog)
