Don't sweat it Dave. "dennis" is a died in the wool engineer. Probably
from the same class that produced the LS5/9. Marvelous spec, measured
beautifully, sounded crap. As with most things in the real world the
measurements are OK up to a point but they are not the be all and end all.

As for LCD v CRT. I have LCD computer monitors they are much better than
any CRT computer monitor I have had. My TV is a couple of years old £400
CRT with Dolby Surround it is much better than any but the most expensive
LCD TV's I've seen.

Oh and the other problem with LCD TV's is the delay in the pictures
between the input connector and the crystals switching. And we aren't
talking a couple of mS but 2 or 3 frames. Anyone specing a broadcast sound
area that has any knowledge insists that at least one monitor is CRT for
sync checking.
