In a surprise move Walmart is no longer selling 4:3 or 16:9 HDTV Tube CRT screens

In a surprise move Walmart is no longer selling 4:3 or 16:9 HDTV Tube CRT screens. If you want a HDTV display your choices are limited to Plasma, LCD, and rear projection screens while shopping at Walmart. As far as I am aware Samsung is the only company still making HDTV tube TV’s which can be found at Best Buy and Circuit City. Soon most likely within a year or two no company will be making a HDTV tube CRT TV anymore.
I am disappointed that Walmart and most manufactories have only decided to make low cost 480I SDTV Tube CRT screens. For example Walmart use to sale nationwide the Sanyo HT30746 30 inch Widescreen HDTV Tube CRT with HDMI input for $399. Now Sanyo has discontinued that exclusive product for Walmart and has came out with a Sanyo HT30547 480I SDTV 30 inch Widescreen with no HDMI input for $357. We are talking about a difference of $42 between a SDTV tube CRT and a Tube HDTV CRT set. Has the world gone so crazy that price is more important then quality? This was such a bad business decision by Walmart and Sanyo. Most people would pay $42 more for a HDTV display with HDMI over a standard 480I display with no HDMI.
The day is coming when the only CRT tube TV on the market will be cheap SDTV 480I only displays. Every product that has a NTSC tuner also contains an ATSC Digital tuner now but the low income consumer is limited to 480I quality SDTV CRT screens when shopping at Walmart. When the day comes when the LCD display can be made cheaper then the CRT tube display then no company will be making CRT screens at all anymore. That might happen in about 5 years from now.
