The CRT is completely gone, going by your description.

If you do not like the 16:9 sets, there are some very good deals on the
4:3
HDTV sets out there. If you stay with a very high end consumer set, you
will do well with these new sets. Always take an extended warranty with a
new set. If it goes defective after the first year, it will be very
expensive to service, if you do not have an extended warranty.

HDTV???? No such thing here in Scotland, I'm afraid

It is not the fact that they are W/S, but that they seem to have such poor
picture quality, build quality, reliability etc. that puts me off

I have never considered extended warranties in the past, but given the
apparent in-built expiration/obsolescence in modern products, your
suggestion sounds like a sensible option.

A sad day indeed

Now the search for a replacement begins, and I am not looking froward to
it - is there any such thing as a genuinely good quality TV these days (50Hz
analogue CRT)?

I wonder if it is time to consider renting again, rather than buying???

Thanks for the replies.
