I have to respectfully disagree with you. While it may be true for *some* situations, CRT resolution when talking about televisions lags dramatically behind that of LCD, DLP and Plasma.

Television CRTs are still only getting MAX 720i resolution, while LCD televisions are up to 1080p. Lets compare apples to apples here please.
