# You would if you hadn't lost your glasses
To be honest you really need a 42" tv or bigger, some say 32, but the difference is negligible at that size unless you're sat on top of it. Antiques road-show always looks incredible.

# i've got a 32 inch
i'd love a bigger one, but there's more important things that i need to buy and i can't afford those yet

# *obligatory deep fanny/cock gag
My tv is only a 32" but it's CRT (old big tube thing) it's 720p but the picture quality was a lot better on the few crt's that where made to display it.... that was until the LED tellys came out, they are really quite beautiful with the right source.

# i can't complain, it was free
i had a bigger one, but it died.

# Same here, I had a 47" LCD that died....
I did get it repaired (power regulator kept going in it) but that has ended up in my bedroom as comparing the pictures the crt was a lot cleaner and more vibrant.

# I didn't know there was such a thing as a 720p CRT
I still have a tube, but I think I may finally go HD during "Boxing Week" sales as I'm tired of all the widescreen TV signals being cut off on both sides of my screen.

# They are thin on the ground, but Toshiba made a few, Phillips and Sony.
(and I believe bang & olufsen) When I got this it was either 720p crt or 1080i plasma, and the price difference between the two was about 7 grand!
at the time most plasmas only had a 10000 hour life span, and for a TV worth 10k that's just stupid!

# i've got a telly in the bedroom, but i never watch it

# I bought my CRT only about 6 years ago
at the time, it was the last CRT model on display, but all the low-def signals looked like shit on the more expensive LCD screens. But now everything is widescreen/HD and I'm an anachronism.

# I can't tell the difference either
Unless it's that people with HD TVs can't stop talking about their TVs

# You really need the source to be good...
Discovery is a swine for upscaling.
Bbc hd always pumps out quality, The top gear polar special was stunning, even at 720p....
Our leap wasn't as big as the yanks, they raved about it because their old analogue system was dire, it looked like long play vhs.

# still not as bad as 3D, though

# Depends on the system...
Active looks better than passive, but the glasses are still quite pricey for active, My computer monitor is passive 3D, but has hdmi on it, some of the ps3 games look amazing, but you do find yourself bending over trying to peek around corners.

# The active ones are better for the fact you can lie down whilst watching it...
The passive ones you have to sit with your head straight to see the 3d effect.
I must admit though, I have a very slight turn in my right eye. (no it's not bozz) and without my glasses on they give me a head ache. (I have a prism that corrects the turn)
