ok, i want a crt for its picture quality and its price/value but i've learned that crt's can't show 720p picture. then whats the ultimate tv for a gamer who's on a budget? crt with 1080i or lcd with 720p what i really want is 16:9 crt monitor that can show 1366x768 resolution, can anyone find a monitor that meets these requirements.
You might try crutchfield, they have a sony, but it over 1000.00. From what I understand most companies have or are discontinuing crt models. I have a lcd, and with ps2 and component inputs, gaming is good. Look at the reviews, try cnet, or google for your requirements. Good luck.
