Re: Old CRT toshiba flat screen

There's so many LCD TVs available second hand for dirt dirt cheap I don't know why anyone would even consider a CRT TV anymore, unless you're into playing retro video game consoles which sometimes work best with a CRT, or the CRT TV in question is one of the rare high-definition models.

ATSC television broadcast is very high quality, you'll be missing out on a lot of the detail on an old analog NTSC CRT.

Not to mention the extra power consumption, heat, size, and weight (and for those of us who can hear it, that extremely irritating 16kHz whine).

agreed, certain older console game consoles like the PS1 certainly do appear better on a CRT than an LCD

those are great for SD programs. operating an LCD TV below it's native resolution gives you artifacts.
