great, I am sure televisions for 5-10 time price have poorer pictures.
TV show rooms would never display a picture which would allow you
to ascess picture quality.





Great compared to what? Sure you don't automatically get a better picture by
spending more on a TV, but higher end sets do have far more adjustments,
higher quality video amps, and generally have tighter tolerances on the CRT.
Properly tuned I guarantee that a £49 portable would pale next to a £500
CRT.


Not to mention that, in isolation, the human eye is easily
fooled...this from training materials from a former employer.
