Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Great for someone looking for an HD monitor but doesn't want to spend too much. Works fine for majority of people looking for a HDTV.
I enjoy movies and television. I have a good sound system with a sunfire connected to paradigm speakers. So I was looking for a television to go along with this sound system. I was able to purchase this television for 900 dollars.
The picture quality isn't the quality of a pioneer elite but it is a decent. In fact, since it is a CRT the picture is as good as most LCD and plasma televisions as well as cheaper. When compared to more expensive CRT's (and tube televisions)it doesn't have as good of a picture, but it does well in lighted areas. That is what I liked about it because often TV's such as CRT's are difficult to see in the light. Not the case for this one. If you do get this TV make sure you have a reciever that has many component inputs. The television only has one. There is not HD tuner either, but that doesn't matter if you are going through a dish or cable company. Same for PIP (picture in picture)so this some of the reasons the price is lower.
This brings up a point about the picture quality. I have a DVD player, cable box (w/ analog, digital, and HDTV signals), and Xbox connected (soon to be Xbox 360). The point is that unless I upgrade all of these inputs significantly I am not going to see much of a difference on other televisions. By the way, the HDTV channels are very nice to have especially when it comes to sports. In fact if you get HDTV the picture is so much better than non HD that you won't even know you bought a less expensive television.
The poorest aspect of this television is that the sound quality is bad. In my case, as I would assume others purchasing a CRT, it made no difference because I use my sound system when I want it to sound good.
Also, there are no other hdtv inputs. Although, if you are purchasing a 900 dollar television chances are you are not investing much more in wiring than semi-expensive component wires anyways (DVI HDMI are now becoming more standard but are also seem to be at a higher price since TV's are in demand to have them).
Overall, this television is great for a person looking for a large screen with decent image quality at a low price. If you want better than upgrade to a better television and make sure you have equipment to utilize them.
