what im curious about, on this size, will i really notice much of a picture difference between any of the players? the t.v. isn't huge so any minor differences will be pretty negligible. i'm look at picking up a refurb or cheap sammy. any ideas?

That's the TV I have! YES! YES! YES!

You have a professional grade monitor right there and the industry leader/standard that has yet to be beat.

Do yourself a favor, if you haven't already, and get that puppy ISF calibrated.

The Super Fine Pitch Tube gives you an extra boost on resolution. 40 percent if I recall correctly.

6-8 feet viewing distance with that thing is perfection with quality source material.

When I had HD-DVD here for six weeks the picture was drop dead amazing. OTA Network HD here is drop dead amazing. Any quality source is amazing on this thing. Many of my upconverted DVD's look "HD like" on this thing.


You can't do any better than this TV at $2000 or less...assuming you have the space for a bulky CRT that is.

That TV is arguably the best CRT tube ever made, hands down.

Great HD on this thing is literally like looking out a window. You can't do any better than this.
