As nice as I'm sure that TV looks, for me, it would be pretty tough to invest in something that isn't widescreen, as pretty much all movies are in widescreen.
Been wondering about this for years....
When I went to San Fran for a little vaca around the end 1998-99 I stopped into a B&O store to check things out. Living in MS makes one forget that there are actully stores that you can go in and listen to high end audio. Amazing.
Anyway, I noticed they had The Fifth Element movie playing on one of their CRT based tv's , approximately 27-32 inches in size. I sat down to veg a little and was dumbfounded by the picture that this TV had. I dont mean the colors etc...I mean the picture was so 3 dimensional that I was blown away. I had NEVER seen anything like this before. I called my then girlfriend (now wife) over to check it out..and for the next hour and ahalf she did not budge from that seat. The picture was so lifelike (on a small scale of course) that even she was mesmerized by it. Can someone tell me what the heck kind of technology that B&O were using??? Had I possibly NOT been exposed to high end video to this extreme that I did not realize what could be had? Is this level of quality something that can be purchased today?? I have NEVER seen a television picture so vivid and again "3D" since then. I am more into audiophile 2 channel more than anything else, so I could have been (and probably still am) a video newbie.
thanks again for your time folks.
