CRT sets will last about 30,000 to 40,000 hours on the average. The new LCD
sets will probably last about 50,000 to 60,000 hours.

Well now you've just changed my mind back to LCD! Ha!!

Im concerned abt buying a small LCD tv cause of the
shift to HD sets soon.

Will a current analog LCD tv such as the 19" Dell TV in
link below be obsolete in a few years when the big
switch to HD transmission?

That's why I was thinking of CRT based.... they are so
cheap I can just throw it away if its obsolete in a few
years. No?
