Looking for new TV under $2K

I second Avguygeorge. New Sony CRT is a killer. Good source, good cables and you are in videophiles heaven.

I just bought a Mits 65413 for $1,800. For the money, VERY hard to beat.

Thanks for all your responses. I really appreciate the
help.Ellery911 I have already registered at avsforum.
Great site by the way. I'm still doing my research
but have been favorably impressed with the Sony
46" projection TV. It seem's to offer a lot of bang
for the buck but I will look at the Sony CRT as well.

Thanks again

The replacement for the Sony xbr910 should be out next month.--The 910 is the best crt set on the market. The new one is supposed to be much better; at the same price of 2200.
While being a touch smaller than the 40 incher; once you see the pq; anything else; is a whole lot less. A videophile's dream----compaired to these plasma/lcd/dlp black level/shadow detail, challeged sets that are all the rage.

Why get a 4:3 screen these days with HDTV? I would never buy the 40" Sony

"Cmach":

I second "Lincoln30's" opinion. If you want the best picture that you can afford, CRT is still the way to go. If you want something that is about 40" or bigger, Sony is about your one and only option here. The thing is, that if you decide to go with a CRT set, 40" is about as big a set as you will find. Anything bigger than that, then you will have to start looking at a projection set. And in terms of picture quality and a set's ability to hold a true black in relation to price, a CRT set is STILL the best deal in town. Plasmas come awfully close, but at prices starting at $4K+, plasmas are a little too rich for my blood, and they aren't coming down in price any time soon.

CRT is still the best picture and the 40" Sony KV-40xbr800 is about $2K. There is NO projection TV on the market that can beat this set in PQ and correct blacks. You have to spend double to get a projection set that even compares like the Samsung DLPs and they still don't get it quite as right.
